What benefits do the misc.invest groups offer to investors?
The chance to get flamed within an inch of their lives and to get their pride seriously dumped upon! No seriously, there are some free-ranging discussion across an enormous spectrum of issues. People have the chance to talk to computer science experts about computers, chemists and doctors about pharmaceutical companies, electronic engineers about cellular phone companies, etc. Another main benefit is timely discussion about events in the news. Also the chance to ask direct questions about their own 401(k) plans or whatever and to get answers, usually right, for free, within hours – that beats writing to a newspaper columnist or paying a certified financial planner by a long shot.
