Wally and Jpbp, your points are valid. However from a business point of view its not practical. These are nice features but besides FNTN investors I don't think people will make much use of the site and that is what, according to me, it is all about. You just can't go spamming on all the forums announcing a scheduled chat. You have to have a site that people want to keep coming back to.

but realistically, how many people will an ad on CNBC generate to the FNTN website ? And, how many people in the 'real world' have a clue as to what Siemens is ? They make crappy printers that attach to a mainframe and/or LAN (IMO, of course !, but i DO speak from experience with them pieces of junk), and they do many many other things. Just like GE does... Getting people to switch their portals from one site to another, is damned near impossible. I'd say it's a safe bet that ALL of us out here - when we want to research something - go to the SAME 6-8 websites, and rarely deviate from them, unless we trip across a new link somewhere. Just like a stock i used to own, NETZ, ZULU, now called ZULUD, the boat has left the dock, and is almost out of sight, time is 'arunnin out, and nobody can even see it. Of course: I could be wrong, and i HOPE i am wrong......
