AD,

Please don't stop posting your trades here. So what if Cary has you on ignore. Why should he post his trades here but not you? Because he has a lower portfolio turnover? That is ridiculous. I respect you and Cary for the very reason that you have both been so transparent about your trading activities and have been so very generous in being so patient with me in sharing your insights and strategies. If Cary thinks ST trading posts are ignorable, then let him ignore them and leave it at that.

Realtime posting of trades has at least three important benefits which I consider indispensable:

(1) It reveals those few individuals who have the ability to transform their ideas into consistently profitable trades so those who wish to can learn potentially valuable trading strategies and techniques.

(2) It promotes accountability and accuracy.

(3) By promoting transparency, it enables the exposure of bias, which is most critical to the analysis of all reported information.

Hearing you report a rumor about a RIF at 2:54 when it is confirmed at 4:05 is important. But knowing that you consider it significant enough to act upon is even more essential.

Trading is revealed preference, pure and simple. Words alone can be just smoke and mirrors, even when there is no actual intent to deceive. In this game, transparency is everything. Without it, we are liable to even deceive ourselves.
