Inflation, oil price, socialism, credit derivatives, more: Group dives in head first.
I have been moderating a Stockhouse group discussion for the past seven days called “Macroeconomics, Stockhouse style.” In that time, I have heard things like, “I believe human nature has no history;” “government ownership is inherently socialist;” and, “the oil sands are too logistically laborious to provide the solution as well as being environmentally catastrophic.” In other words: A great discussion was had by all.
The group is now closed for participation. This kind of limited timeframe group event is a first for Stockhouse, but judging by the success of the effort, it will certainly not be the last.
I will be editing and formatting the great work done there for front page publication on Stockhouse. Readers will get the chance to follow the musings of known bloggers, Bullboard participants and article writers. Joining the group were littleguy123, frontline_jason, arnoldj, StilesBC and gabrielgray.
Articles will appear in a number of formats, including stand-alone articles, roundtable-style conversations and collections of quotes.
In addition, I will be making the entire discussion available for Stockhouse readers who are interested in reading the group in its “raw” form. Look for notice on that in the following weeks once the edited series has run its course.
And look for open calls to participate in more Stockhouse-moderated groups in the near future. You’ll see article announcements on the front page (like this one), entries on the Community News blog, calls for action on the front page and more.
Stay tuned.
