Speculation
Only one quote, already adequately covered in the Warren Buffett page. I'm of the opinion that there isn't enough here to make an entire theme (as opposed to a section of a finance page, for example). 121a0012 02:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment: I'm a bit undecided about this one. It's a bit verbose for an optimal quote here. But if it had a proper (published, reliable) source, I could see keeping it in a theme article. But "Speculation" does seem a bit too specific when we don't even have an article on Finance yet. On the other hand, Economics may be too broad a theme. Maybe we could move this to "Finance", then create a Category:Economics to place both articles in (along with any others of this ilk)? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to Investment. I think there is a potentially good theme page in the making for quotes about risking money on stocks etc., but it needs to be made more general. Economics is too broad and to me it would mean either an academic approach or looking at government economic policies. I agree with Jeff Q about the category.

 * Either Delete or Move, per Fys (if there is enough material to create the appropriate theme article. ~ UDScott 16:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or move based on sourced material, per UDScott and Fys. If we move, we should probably place the current quote (assuming it remains) under a sub-topic of "Speculation" so it's clear this article would include variations on the general theme of investment, and those variations would require explicit mention of the sub-topic. (Otherwise we may get all sorts of quotes only tangentially related to investment, e.g., the "greed is good" speech from Wall Street.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to Investment, per Fys. "Speculation" is too specific, and the Economics page (which I've just tagged as needing cleanup) seems to be more quotes of people talking about the science of economics in general, as opposed to any specific subpart. —LrdChaos (talk) 20:10, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
