ValueWiki:About

From ValueWiki

• ValueWiki is an investment site for pooling investment research. Our Mission is to create a single source for investor information in the most efficient possible format. ValueWiki is dedicated to the Wikimedia Foundation's mission of empowering the world through free and public internet information.

• ValueWiki combines the collaborative power of message boards with the informative power of investment sites, creating a centralized information hub for investors.

• ValueWiki is a collaborative Wiki-Project running on the mediawiki platform. The Project Goal is to create a complete catalogue of all Worldwide securities.

• ValueWiki is built on the belief that wiki is the inevitable next step in investment research. People can pool research on Message boards, but the info is linear, disorganized, and often incorrect! The ValueWiki Mission is to provide information that is efficient, accurate, and unbiased, with civility among members and contributions by all!

• There is a lot great information on sites like Yahoo finance and Google finance, but no central directory for all of these links. ValueWiki wants each article to become a one stop shop for all links and research for each stock. Do you write a stock blog? Link to your site from a relevant ValueWiki article.

• Encyclopedia Brittainica's paid staff could only write 118,000 articles in 240 years. Wikipedia has written 1.7 million articles in 5 years! So Wiki seems to create a good model for collaborative research.

• Zach and Jon set up ValueWiki so all factual information gets compiled on the article page, and all opinions & discussion happen on the Message Board. Every single page on ValueWiki has its own Message Board. And every single stock or fund page also contains a live chat room. Try it out!

• To work best, ValueWiki must reach a critical mass. You can help out by visiting our Project List to see which articles are already in progress. You can also spread the word to your friends. The community is looking forward to your contributions!
