Sports, Politics, Religion, Girls, and other junk you want to just vent about or discuss with other professional traders.

Hey,

I'm trying to fell confortable in the new board format, sorry guys but it'll take a little of time.

The good new is that I have my identity integral. That's good.

D.

Yeah I imagine the new format will tkae a little getting used to. Joshua and you guys just all had sort of outgrown the one little board for Stocks - Joshua Hayes.


Just a note to everyone that if your user account was deleted, I reset the troubled ones so you can simply re-register unsing your same e-mail and User Name if you wish.

Thanks De...way to step up and get this resolved.

Thank you, DeMerchant.

Good evening guys.

I have to go, my wife is out with her friends, my son is sleeping and I have to iron a lot of T-shirts and other things.  It's sad to say, but It's truth.
Ehhh, where is finished the real italian man? Girls have too much power in these decades.
I'm joking guys I'm not that kind of man.

So, see you tomorrow. Happy for the new board, a beer is a need now with 30° C. But first ironing. :/

D.

Listen I agree. I am a good looking guy and I will probably die single because I chose to move to an island full of dudes. What a stupid choice. ALl the hot girls have no interest in me and are all taken.

Oh well. Times have changed.

I am off to the gym now as my workout partner is there and has to leave to the mainland in three hours. I will be back after that.

Great work guys, this board is getting serious and professional, I love it.

D.

You have seen nothing yet.

This is just the beginning.

You can tell that is a bit more dead around here after the fiasco of the last two days.

You notice that too, market. Or is it that I just came in here a bit late? Seems to me that some still may not be able to log on.

Just think about 19 new people signed up during the period that the hacker erased. Since then out of those 19...zero have resigned up.

Hope this is a HUGE lesson for these guys.

I agree, I wasn't able to get on last night and this morning.  I have noticed that there isn't as many people in here.

It should be a lesson, I think these guys have the wits to make sure this doesn't happen again.  If it does, well then we'll have to go somewhere else.  I don't anticipate this happening again, De and Seth will make sure of that.  Their success is directly tied to this Forum.  

They know that. All you have to do is go to the bottom of the homepage and look at what happened to the total number of clicks on the site after January 25th. That is when I signed on.

I sent a large email discussing why this can NEVER happen again or else.........

Every site experiences difficulties from time to time...RB, ihub...all of 'em.  If people like the site and the posters they'll come back.  

The big boys are already here, you can tell when you see guys trying to lure people into crappy OTC and PINK stocks with little or no real analysis.  "THIS IS A GOOD ONE I THINK"...that's usually a dead giveaway.

I think this is the greatest board site for message boards ever. I wouldn't mind seeing this site grow to a point where the message board is just ONE of the features.

I know this much I wouldn't have signed on with Seth and Justin if I didn't feel the passion from them. I already know I can do my own thing. But these young guys and the drive Seth has was gripping. It made me realize that there is a good chance this site can become a great site.

It will never be marketwatch.com or realmoney.com but you know what I mean a nice community for traders to congregate along with a place where you can get some premium products.

Too bad the other professionals don't have any heart. Even with a paid site I will be posting free stuff all over this site.

I love this crew. They are the best.

You have to give them credit how fast they fixed things. Now if I can just get all the old readers who were regulars back.

They are emailing me and messaging me telling me they can not even see the homepage. They are getting a log in page for site administrators.

I miss my whole crew and know a lot of ppl should be here today that are not because they CAN NOT get in.

Hmmmm, last night I was getting that log in page for admins, but not today.....wonder why it's affecting some and not others.  I see we've had 15/20 people on at a time today.

My good man Y. Gross still is seeing it right now. And as of this morning another apprentice of mine "lafayette" can not log in still. We will see later.

I just put up a link that might drive some traffic....let's see.

I became a member, and signed in here yesterday, but what I see here is not normal.
I belong to many other Sites , and members post all over the place.
Why don't the members in here post anything, thats what sites like this are here for.
Other sites have 50 - 60 +  members logged on all the time.
It's a little strange .
that is just IMO, maybe I'm not a member long enough.

30-40 guests on right now...I don't think there's any access issues.

It is because this one is only a year old and the other reason is the past two days have been the craziest two days EVER in here. The site was down, my board was hacked and deleted, many accounts were erased, and all new members were. And now I have members who can't even see the homepage.

Normally it is a bit busier but it is more quiet here because we make sure ONLY quality gets through. I only operate my board and don't pay attention to the rest of the site.

But I know for a fact Justin and other mods are on top of deleting all pumps and keeping only the highest qulaity of info. Most traders are stupid. They dont know how to trade. They dont do it for a living. All they do is hype.

All other chat boards are that. Hype. There is not one professional trader that spends all day "chatting" about stocks on random message boards. Only hype artist.

This could explain why you see more activity. I doubt this board will be that quiet in five years.

Thank you for all your observations.

Realize that the past two days have been the worst two days of this site since inception. My board is the most active by far and had a TON of post. It was erased on Tuesday. Hopefully, we can get the archives back this weekend.

42 current guest. Guess that posting helped, krill. LOL.

OK Maui......
thanks for the INFO, like I said I'm new here.
but I diagree with you that most other Traders are STUPID.
I'm for one know what I'm doing and know how to trade,

I hate to tell you the facts but 99% of everyone who attempts to make a career out of trading fails.

You may not be stupid. But when I use the word stupid I am speaking of people giving stock advice without having a proven record of making money and/or really know what they are doing. Most people just pump whatever they are bagholders of.

I have been around long enough and spend over 12 hours a day on this stuff. I have seen TONS of "knowledgable" posters all of a sudden disappear. Not once, not twice, not one hundred times...many more.

Go to #daytraders or #activetraders chatrooms. Memorize peoples name get their emails and see if they are trading for a living three years from now. These are your most chatty types.

Professionals that chat alot obviously love what they do.

I am a stupid trader!!!! This is a game that is never mastered. I am always stupid to the big stock market.

RevShark and TokyoJoe both asked me to partner with them. So obviously I have something go for me.

But I still think I am a stupid trader. Did anyone see BIDU? Wasn't I long that loser?

Until I bat 10 for 10 I am still a stupid trader.

Where did you post that link at krill?

Where did my Redsox-loving sidekick go? roflmao.

It sure isn't as much fun watching the Marlins vs. Braves as it is watching the BoSox, Tigers, Mets, or Cardinals.

Maui....
thanks, but even you can't say and tell what stock to buy, because the Market is
nothing but a Gamble, lol , and I don't care how long you're in this business

I'll never tell Vince   Now that I'm back and active you're gonna see more traffic here I think....well at least I hope so.  Any thoughts on the latest treatise on my blog?

have you ever heard of the CANSLIM method?

If the market was a gamble then how in the hell am i doing it for a living for the past six years?

It is not a gamble.

Look at my record in bull markets I am 70% right. In bear markets I am 50%. Cutting losses around 10% or less always.

money management and a great system always beats luck

If you think the market is a gamble you are wrong. That is not IMO. That is fact.

CANSLIM buddy!!!! Realtime following by AAII has proven it works.

NO GAMBLING REQUIRED!

I forgot to mention something....when I say I have been doing it for a living for the past six years also take into account the cost of living on Maui. This ain't Kansas, toto.

OK lol

Speaking of which (living on this rock). After almost two and a half months we finally have some decent size surf on our South Shores. It is almost overhead and that is good for the summer.

I should be out all day after the market closes.

It was a pleasure meeting you eug. I look forward to many future conversations.

I will be back later on tonight when most of you are peacefully asleep. Or having a scary nightmare.

Aloha and have a great day/afternoon/evening!

ROFLMAO..  looks like we've got another johann here..  

wth does IMO or JIMO mean???  

IMO =  in my opinion

JIMO = just in my opinion

I learned all of these in my early years with TokyoJoe. He was the master of acronyms.

nah, eug is cool.

johann was too but he attacked people ALL THE TIME. He has been kicked out of three stock chat boards.

I like eug!!!!

Sorry...things to do here in the summer...in the winter here everyone stays in...summer you have to do something everynight!!!

Sox are in on the West coast...sux I can't watch the entire game!

Yeah, no i realize also that readership is also lower in the summer. It should pickup nicely in the winter. Also being in a bull market and bear market is a key factor. Heck I don't help by telling people to go on a vacation during this bear market but now is better and in hindsight they will say "he was right. It was a great time to take a vacation." Maybe they wont!!

LOL.

I need another vacation!  LOL

Off to spend QT with the pregnant wife...I got yelled at for being on this computer too much...

Plus there is no Red Sox on for another night!!!!! I have to watch a "SHOW"

Until the AM.

Aloha, Market Speculator.

I will be here for another seven hours.

Good night. I will see you for the opening bell or shortly after...depends on how difficult it is to enter shorts and close positions.

Aloha.
