Apparently a non-notable "association" of investors. For what it's worth, I've received 5 invitations to join (for free) in the past week, so that even an audited membership count would be of questionable validity, and I see no evidence of that on the web. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- keep provided that the references are put in before the end of the AfD. Adding them promptly helps the later comers to the discussion. DGG 01:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

- Keep. This is a notable organization, frequently cited in market reports. The membership is surveyed about trends and news events, so they keep their name out there. 40 results in current Google News. I have no idea what its members think of the group, but the AARP is a pretty similar organization and they won't let go of somebody's mailing address until you sign up. --Dhartung | Talk 21:25, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Conditional withdraw if references are included, per DGG. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 21:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
