2 levels deep doesn't show up in the forum overview (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php)... also some investments there are not necessarily tied to "Lending" imho.

Securities subforum under Marketplace:
- http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=78.0

[Update: and more discussion on the topic:
- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-lendingsecurities-subforum-76864 ]

A security is generally a fungible, negotiable financial instrument representing financial value.[1] Securities are broadly categorized into:

debt securities (such as banknotes, bonds and debentures),
equity securities, e.g., common stocks; and,
derivative contracts, such as forwards, futures, options and swaps.

I like it, specific enough to not be confusing and covers them all nicely at the same time.

Would that apply to bonds and other securities? Actually, either "securities" or "Stocks, Bonds, and Securities" might be good names for the subforum.

"Securities" would be a better name. I'll use that.

What do you guys think of an "assets" subforum to Lending? This seems like the most appropriate categorization, since buying an asset is similar to giving a loan.

Some are in the head Marketplace forum, some in Services, some in Lending. It's very hard to keep track of.

I agree that it should not be GLBSE-specific, especially given MPEx is gaining listings now too, plus there are other unlisted offers.

A quick skim of the first two pages in marketplace (past 7 days) shows 17+ threads that would fit. That is quite a few and maybe it is needed.

Yep. It is fairly time consuming to dig out those threads from the existing regular marketplace threads. We're surely expanding fast Grin

IMO "investment" is too generic. Stock exchange, traded stocks, etc. would be more suitable.

I think generic is better when it comes to naming subforums, makes for easier classification.

not the first the request for this. however in my first request i thought it should include all exchanges, bonds and even mining contracts. the rule it seems is you need 5 threads but this died and i never got much of a response from the staff. i would guess they want distance from glbse and the like but i dont know.

It's nothing about GLBSE in particular, I just don't like the idea of giving one specific company their own subforum. Doesn't seem fair to the others. I did like your idea better, a more general "Investment" type forum.

Personally I didn't respond because I don't agree or disagree, but wanted to see more discussion on it.

+1. This should not be limited to only glbse itself. Any other investment schemes/mining bonds could go in too I think. We should have more then 5 threads now including the glbse ones.

This should reduce the thread clutter in the marketplace subforum.

I second a GLBSE sub forum, we do have the forum for GLBSE itself(at glbse.com) but as was mentioned this tends to be fairly quiet.

marked, there is already the ability for asset creators to add a link to a forum thread for their asset (they can even update it right now).

GLBSE forum down Sad

Nginx 504 bad gateway
Also you guy's are using 0.7.65 ... you know 1.0.15 is out right??
Then again maybe you're using the OpenBSD latest package for nginx or something.

Anyways +1 GLBSE and MPEX announce forum ftw
