The portfolio I was suggesting would be for stock club boards only. Just as a measure of how each club is doing and totally trustworthy. Quotes for stock specific boards would be excellent. As far as portfolios for each member, I am not certain it would be worth the effort. Most people here already have a source for quotes and such. If you wanted to do something like that, I would suggest co-branding E-Gate from Alphatrade. That would require very little work on your part and would provide the members the option of having real time quotes, charts, news, Level 2, etc. Also be another revenue stream for Ihub.

So is InvestorsHub currently a profitable company or is it like all the other message board sites?

Serious question.

<<Along with portfolios, if I would un-cheapskate enough to make it possible, I'd like quotes to go with each board. Also if I can get past the reluctance to dilute "What we do".>>

I cannot tell you how many times I have scrolled down to the bottom of a page looking for a quote -- just something that I (and I suspect others) got very used to at SI. It is an information habit that is difficult to break. Of course, the information is available lots of other places, but it takes me away form here to find it.

Real time is always nice, but delayed for the boards is all that is really necessary, IMO.

I absolutely do not think that quotes would in any way dilute anything that you do. Of course, the financial dilution may be another story and I (and I suspect most others) have no idea of the costs associated with making quotes available. Something tells me it is a bit more than just a few bucks a month.
