Are online forums still relevant for retail investors?

THE Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum, was the centre of the daily lives of its people for centuries. It is the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, gladiatorial matches and commercial affairs. It is where the heart of Rome beats and is regarded in history as among the most celebrated meeting place in the world.

In the age of technology, the word “forum” in itself has taken a different definition albeit in a similar function. When we talk about forums, in the context of the Internet, it becomes a place where people leave messages or discuss particular subjects.
