This may be a niche interest, but I would personally love to have an Investing tag (or something along those lines). Here are some topics and posts that I’d want to apply this tag to:
Standard investment advice and modifications thereto
Taking a look at the Tag Index, I think Betting would be the closest existing tag, but it’s not a great fit. And what I’m thinking of should probably go under the Individual Optimization section of World Optimization in the hierarchy, rather than under Rationality.
(It might also make sense to create tags for Money or Career that would also fall under Individual Optimization, to catch posts like Maximizing Your Donations via a Job, but I haven’t thought as much about those as tags.)
These are great! I’ll make these soon. Those posts definitely justify doing so in my mind. Re: Wei Dai’s comment, I think it’s reasonable to mention in the tag description text (and those will soon be everyone-editable wiki entries and should include extra info relevant to the tag/wiki/concept, including “notable comments”).

Seems like a great idea, I created it here: https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/financial-investing
Thanks!
Another one for the EMH topic: Contrarian LW views and their economic implications by Larks.
Just added the Efficient Market Hypothesis tag to that post.

(Note: I already created the tag)
I didn’t follow this. It’s reasonable to mention what in the tag description text—that comments can have tags?
It’s reasonable to mention “there’s this comment which is relevant to this topic...”
Oh, I see what you mean now. Thanks!
