The CashBench Forum

CashBench introduces yet another service for readers who want to feel the pulse of the markets. The CashBench Forum is a search-engine that combs through pages from finance and stock investment forums in Singapore for current investor opinions.

Investor discussions on these forums are fast and furious, and the hourly volume is so huge that even the usual search engines like Google or Yahoo! will not be able to catch up. Instead, the CashBench Forum is streets ahead as CashBench tracks these pages much more frequently. In fact, the target is to offer CashBench readers recent discussions that have occurred over the past 6 hours. There are at least 3 key advantages in tracking investor opinions at CashBench:

  • First, discussions from all tracked forums are listed together, you no longer have to visit each forum separately.
  • Second, no more clicking from page 1 to page 10. All discussions are listed on a single scrollable page that you can see at one glance with eye-friendly fonts.
  • Third, CashBench provides complementary information on the same page where these discussions are listed. These include the top business news stories, latest broker reports as well as quotes and charts of the STI and HSI indices amongst others. Readers will also have access to the latest analysis of the markets and securities found exclusively on CashBench.

For a start, the Channel NewsAsia Market Talk and Share Junction forums are tracked on the CashBench forum. The forums on ShareInvestor.com are very popular but have been excluded as they are only open to paid subscribers.

To see any discussion in full, just click on the discussion title or the direct links to the last post or the forum itself. Try it out and tell us what you think. For suggestions and feedback on the CashBench Forum, or on how CashBench can better meet your needs, do leave a comment or send an e-mail to CashBench.
