We are a community of self directed investors, joined together to share our thoughts and knowledge and help each other navigate the turbulent waters of the stock markets.

The Pirate's Cove Investor Forum exists as a an independent forum, controlled by its members. It is here to improve trading and investing skills for stocks, options and other asset classes; to exchange news, views and ideas that will help us all to make trades and investments more profitable in the long and short term.

We have organized the Forum layout for ease of navigation. No matter where your investing interests lie, there is a place in the forum to discuss them. And if you have ideas for a better forum, we'll listen. Promise.

We have categories for big board stocks, penny stocks and stocks traded outside the dollar on foreign exchanges. If bio-tech or commodities like gold and silver or oil and gas raise your sails, the Pirate's Cove is an excellent source of information and opinion. (Har! we'll have some fun too.)

Pirate's Cove also has areas where stock market newsletters and advisories can be discussed with your fellow subscribers. You'll even find, in "The Treasure Chest" section, a place to buy, sell or trade anything you want.

Because Pirate's Cove is a subscription based forum, you'll never be distracted by commercials. It is actively administered and moderated. We'll tolerate no "pump & bash" posts that spoil all the "open to the public" investment forums (Aye, we'll give'm the black spot).

So cast off with us and let's get under way
