 * Comment per the comments below from GDallimore, I would be happy to withdraw this AFD to allow him to implement his solution instead. I am mindful, however, that withdrawing an AFD when others have !voted delete is frowned upon, so I don't feel that I can withdraw unless TallNapoleon strikes his Delete vote Mayalld (talk) 15:38, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. The term is not NEO, it was in use for decades and there are plenty of books on the subject. Ask your stockbroker about it - that's how they make commissions. Whether the text can be expanded beyond DICDEF is a different story. NVO (talk) 12:18, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep As NVO, this isn't a recent neologism and we don't exclude terms for being tied to specific industries. Needs expansion beyond a dictionary entry, but that should be possible (editor effort permitting) and it's a justifiable stub in the meantime. Needs referencing to demonstrate notability though.

 * Redirect Nominator is mistaken. "Trade idea" is a well known and oft-used term in certain limited circles - eg traders and investors in financial instruments. These circles have shrunk significantly recently thanks to the bank collapse, but they're still there. Suggest redirecting this article and Trade idea (singular) to the financial instrument article as there's nothing particularly worth keeping as the article currently stands but the term is definitely a useful redirect (I almost created it myself some months back while researching the topic). Could probably do the same with the equally unsourced articles: Alpha capture system and Strategist which I found while looking for existing articles on related topics.

 * Sorry, new plan. A better redirect destination would be Financial market, in my view. GDallimore (Talk) 15:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
