understand (and agree with) you're point re: secrecy and trading mentality, but doesn't that also underscore the need for a no-nonsense, reliable yet dynamic source of good information and perspectives? also, many people in finance are information gatherers, but can't act (for personal benefit) on that data.

innate habit of "consumption" rather than "contribution" may be difficult at first, but perhaps self-reinforcing if it gained a dedicated readership?
