Topic: BDC Investor
Hi folks,
This will be the final message posted to the BDCinvestor.com discussion forum. As announced previously (http://www.bdcinvestor.com/forums/show.mpl?keywords=1127854621.21.9551564814921&so=200509), today is our merger date for the BDCinvestor.com discussion community with our sister site ValueForum.com, into a new portal into the VF experience called BDCs.ValueForum.com. This means that going forward, the BDCinvestor.com discussion forum is closed to new posts / replies, and will now become a read-only archive. Message URLs will continue to reference archived posts in the same manner, the search functionality will continue to be available, the ignore filter functionality will continue to be available -- the main change relates to being closed to new posts / replies.
All future discussion will be posted into the VF system, and can be found by visiting: http://bdcs.valueforum.com/ (from that page, a link to the BDCinvestor.com discussion forum archive appears below the Group Polls section). We will be pointing the main "bdcinvestor.com" home page to bdcs.valueforum.com shortly (so that when you type bdcinvestor.com into your browser or use an old bookmark, it will bring you to the recent discussions).
Our Gift Certificate offer has now expired, but we are happy to have given out 60 gift certificates to members who registered for them. It is our hope that the combined community of BDC investors will produce even more valuable discussions. The ValueForum community has grown to over 1100 members since its launch in November 2003, and there is a good deal of discussion at BDCs.ValueForum.com, with over 400 posts so far this month under the BDCs topic, and 97 Stock Ratings accumulated thus far in the ratings section on BDCs, with an avg. rating in category of 2.17 on a scale of (Strong Buy) 1.00 - 5.00 (Strong Sell). Rated stocks include ACAS, AINV, ALD, ARCC, GAIN, GLAD, MCGC, PSEC, TICC, and stocks considered to be "hybrids" such as KFN and DFR.
The BDCs.ValueForum.com home page has the same familiar BDC Sector Snapshot on the left-hand side, with latest BDC news below it. To the right, the newest Stock Ratings (if any were made within the last 24 hours), the latest Discussion Forum messages, a short table listing discussion by topic and ratings by topic, then latest ValueForum.com Group Polls, and below that a link to the BDCinvestor.com discussion archive, and a listing of the latest posts to the Coffee Shop (our off-topic community-building discussion area). The Coffee Shop is also used for discussion of the site itself, including our FAQ topic, and system announcements.
For a smaller, faster-loading home page designed for dial-up users, you can visit the My Settings area of VF (click the tab in the VF page header), and specify dial-up mode for your browsing preference. Other options include: the ability to share your recommended items with the group (i.e. this allows you to share the items you found to be most helpful, indicated by a click of the ($) feedback button), the ability to sign up for Email Alerts for Group Calendar events and other items, the ability to create and share portfolios with the group (including the ability to enter a portfolio into the ValueForum Community Portfolio Project), the ability to manage ignore settings (by topic, user, and thread), a setting related to the scrolling VF Message Ticker, and other settings.
Thank you, and hope to see you over at BDCs.ValueForum.com
- The VF/BDCi Team
