What is tradingurus.com?

Think of it as a virtual party where you talk to people who do not get bored to death when you talk about the markets. Does it sound good so far? It gets better.

Our goal is to create a space where traders and investors can discuss their views on the markets and where they can rant about everything else, from the life on the trenches to their last trade. As in many other social networks, you will have the ability to create groups and build communities.

We want to create a site apart from commercial media. A place where the content is provided and ranked by the users, based on its utility. Unlike commercial media, that either states the obvious or creates hype around issues, we expect to create a social content site able to select the more valuable information.

At tradingurus.com, you can participate in public forums or create your own forums to discuss topics with your own groups. Our features are so powerful, that you can also create your bulletins to share information with your groups. 

Do I really have to create an account?

That's entirely up to you, but at tradingurus.com, we encourage open participation. We may use handlers, but we don't hide behind Internet anonymity. We think that there is a space for "honest" news and opinions, and we are creating the infrastructure to make it happen.

We know! Registering seems to be an annoyance, but we feel strongly that Internet anonymity is dangerous when it comes to discussing how to preserve and grow your money.

Our goal is not to bring in tens of millions of anonymous users to chatter senselessly, but just those who do not hide behind "Anonymous" to harass, spam or scam other users.

We have a strict Privacy Policy, and NO ONE will know more about you than you let them know. Our users communicate among themselves with our internal messaging system, and nobody can ever get access to other users' information without their consent.

By registering, you will become one more member of a global, honest, knowledge-seeking community of traders and investors who discuss intelligently, share ideas and opportunities, teach, and learn how to succeed participating in the stock market.

How much does it cost?

Zero, zip, nada. Tradingurus.com is free. Jerry Laster, the creator of the site, makes his money with his trading, investing and technology projects. Although he does not expect to make money with this project, eventually, we may diversify the site offerings and include services for commercial users, but the site will remain free for all the individual users.

Where is the catch?

The only catch is that you have to participate. Create a free account and rank the information available on the site. Ask questions. Argue points. Submit your own content. Our founder believes in the concept of "paying it forward", the idea of doing good things for others in order to create a better world for everybody. He got fed up with the commercial media that scream buy at the top and sell at the bottom. He thinks that a social network of smart and honest people can create a disruptive force and provide information that is more valuable.

Check the article How to Beat the Markets for more on our concept of using the Web to democratize the knowledge about the markets, and how to profit from them independently.

You can participate in our forum discussions or create your own blog! That's right; create a blog to share with fellow traders without having to worry about spam comments or uncivilized users who hide in the anonymity of the Internet.

In this social networking site, we may call each other by nicknames but we are real people with great ideas, sharing a great place on the Web. This is a great place to meet other traders and investors like yourself, who don't want to waste time on spam, scams, or useless arguments.

Let us know how to make this community better!
