Post Modern Security Analysis calls for facts, not opinions. Collaborative research, not the crowdsourcing of opinion, is required.
A tsunami of raw, unanalyzed open source information now overwhelms the market, calling for new tools and new ways to motivate researchers.
To this end, Capital Market Wiki has tweaked the Wikipedia model, added a semantic structure and built-in incentives, and has created a system for collaborative investment research.

The old-fashioned, heroic security analyst, working alone in a dark room with a stack of annual reports, in a snow-bound house in Omaha, far from Wall Street, is less likely to solve investment riddles today, than fifty years ago.
The analyst of the 21st century must be ready to engage in collaborative research. The future lies in modern knowledge handling technology, including OSINT techniques, crowdsourcing, wiki software, and capital market taxonomy.

Open source intelligence techniques (OSINT) are useful in mining investment information on the Internet. OSINT has well-defined procedures developed by government intelligence agencies like the CIA and MI5.
Capital Market Wiki is a new tool for collaborative investment research, based on OSINT methods and Capital Market Taxonomy.
The objective is to develop actionable investment intelligence from the vast sea of free, unfiltered raw information now available.
