Pascal,...Thanks for the feedback so far, everyone.<br /><br />Pascal,<br /><br />I'm aware of the technical term "shadow stock", but I don't think it will confuse most investors, because most of them probably have never heard of it and it would have no relevance to their situations. I figured I'd use the domain name anyway because it has a lot of the hallmarks of a good one: relatively short, easy-to-spell, alliterative, easy to remember, lends itself fairly well to a visual representation. I suppose I could add a note for disambiguation purposes though.DaveinHackensackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313169814904229272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126131564610858851.post-46425207816483304122009-11-07T13:08:54.263-05:002009-11-07T13:08:54.263-05:00When I saw the name "shadow stock", it r...When I saw the name "shadow stock", it reminded me of "shadow economy", so I thought maybe you would focus on shady stocks (which is not the case). If you wanted to investigate shady stocks/companies, you might have used a sherlock holmes theme and aggressive looking bull, your proposed logo.<br />It also appears that "shadow stock" refers to some type of stock (cf wikipedia), so your blog name might be misleading for people who want to read about shadow stocks only.Pascalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126131564610858851.post-42145250007364051462009-11-07T02:30:11.292-05:002009-11-07T02:30:11.292-05:00I think I might make the hat bigger and have the h...I think I might make the hat bigger and have the horn coming out of the side of it.
