Why should i build my reputation in the InvestmentWiki?

Credibility. Credibility is gained with good articles and deep engagement in discussions.
Following. Popularize your investment thesis and have more people join it.
Reach. The InvestmentWiki is a growing community. Being an active author brings in new readers and interesting connections.
Connection. Engage in detailed discussions with other investors directly in the wiki or discord.
Ease. You don't have to setup your own website or social media accounts to generate a following or meaningful contacts.
Feedback. Ideas and concepts can be discussed with other investors and improved.
Free. Being a part of the InvestmentWiki is and will always be completely free.
Flexibility. No matter how much time you have. Even with small edits you can make permanent contributions.

Disagree? Use the discussion section to counter any of the above arguments or add new supportive or counterarguments directly to this page.

Time. Contributing to the wiki is time consuming which is an opportunity cost if the alternative is to not contribute.

Alternatives. There might be tools/platforms to build a reputation which give the contributor more visibility.

Secrecy. For very specific bits of information of which the information hold thinks are not yet priced in it might make sense to not share that information. But this would only apply to situations in which the information holder hasn't yet translated his/her information into a tradable strategy and before he/she has finished building up a position.
