What are the best monetization methods for a finance related sites? Right now, I'm doing all Adsense, and while it's ok, I'd like to just see if anything would work any better.
it depends on the site... I have had most of my success on financial sites with adsense... as most finance affiliates are very targeted while most of my sites are more broad.
CareOne is by far the best affiliate program for financial sites. They pay out $13 per lead and the conversions are great! YPN also seems to pay much better for financial terms.
very cool idea... I may even want to team up with you I like the idea that people can chime in and grade the stocks... the only thing is there a reset button for the grading..... anyways pm me as i have a few sites that i think could benfit from what you have but have some questions to ask that i dont want to publicly
one quick tip is placement of you adsense ads. could be in better location for monetization.

I'd find some stock trading affilates not sure what is avalible maybe ameritrade fidelity cybertrader scottrade this is just what I see on some other financal sites write a review or rate them to give some added value to the links. look at other Finance Sites (marketwatch money.cnn.com finance.yahoo.com etc) and see what ads they are running try the same affilate ads on your site.
