To me, financial news is on topic for hacker news, as long as they provide some insight into what is going on. Plain facts are borderline, silly jokes and complaints are offtopic. Personally I'm going to submit posts from Nickbs's and Mattmaroon's sites here, as long as they meet the criteria above. I already did with the alternative energy post (not because I agree with the author, but because he provides an interesting to me point of view, I haven't considered energy density before). If these are really offtopic here, they will get killed/not upmodded, but I don't think so.
