(17,860 posts)The daily OP is a template that gives a very quick snapshot of some of the major markets' activity. The first block is indeed cut-and-paste from Google Finance, which I think is a fairly reliable source for those numbers, if not necessarily for anything else.
Virtually everything that is posted in this thread is either an attributed cite from another source (reliability to be determined by the reader) or it is an opinion of said cite; or it is a personal experience/observation. It's a daily compendium of articles and essays related not only to the markets themselves but to the global economies and how they affect the markets and vice versa.
What it isn't is a forum for shilling commercial investment schemes. We just don't do that here, and we expect newcomers/drive-bys to respect the community that's been established here over the past 10-12 years.
