Hi bobby_g, let me get this straight ... you want to lurk here and expect people to post stock tips to you out of the kindness of their hearts ?

In a bear market ?

Just my opinion, but I don't think that's a very reasonable expectation.

If your goal is to make money day trading, then there's no substitute for scrolling real time feed communications.

I joined SI in 1997. Because of what I do for a living, throughout the mid 1980s - late 1990s I was verrrry tapped into what was going on in the computing/networking world and did quite well finding stocks yet to be discovered by Wall St., who as a group are totally clueless about technology.

Anyway, Yahoo Finance did not exist, and I discovered that SI was a fantastic place to read peoples posts about other stocks that I would not have known about otherwise. The TA threads were great too. Learned a lot from them.

But with the whole world obsessed with tech stocks, with on online resources like Yahoo Finance. SI's purpose and value is diminished. There's no reason for anyone to post anything here other than a ticker symbol. If it looks interesting -- go check the news or a real time quote server.

Like Lance says, the markets now react in minutes (actually seconds) instead of hours. Its ridiculous, and I don't like it either, and I miss the people that used to post on SI and no longer do, but that's the way it is.

Regards,
Chris
