Will this website be only about stocks or also fixed income, fx, real estate, etc?
investment is not only stocks!
Proposal: InvestOverflow
But in that case I guess it overlaps a bit "Personal Finance and Money"

I think it would be too general. It's getting a bit difficult already to determine which site handles what kind of request. There are basically 2 sites already running: The first one seems pretty basic to me, it was made for beginner and people really not familiar with finance in general. Besides, I saw an incredible number of topics from real estate to trading strategies, along with investment plans for children. The second one is only dedicated to professional or high-level academics, as we discussed several times on meta. As it is related to quantitative finance, you might expect a lot of question regarding algorithmic trading, stochastic calculus, and so on, but it's not really the place to ask questions on, for example, technical trading. Hence this proposal should be a bit in between the two, and InvestOverflow would basically include the two sites that already exist. I really do like the StockOverflow idea, and I think it doesn't really matter if bonds are discussed in there. The name is part of the marketing of the BETA, and I guess this name is good for that matter. As for the long-term, I think the three site should eventually be merged into one global site focusing on finance in general. The idea right now is to create 3 core communities for different types of question. If we mix them up right now, it might drag potential users away (trivial/too advanced questions). Let's just constitute a nice community first. | |||

The name is not amusing to me, but the topic would be interesting--I suggest making it broad (multiple investment types) rather than specific to one kind. | |||||||||

I think it should and I have added a proposal for Forex-specific site. The Forex market is very different from the stock market, please follow here: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/38871/forex-investing?referrer=usBw--qT54jprnALJrDnpg2 | |||
