E-mails: threaders stocks that have already gone up to days highs by the time you post and are moving down are not considered TIMELY trades. Been getting e-mails on stocks that looked good today and if I "saw" their rise etc. I did look and they indeed risen but by the time I got the post they were either at their peaks or moving down the range.

The thread would like trades shared at the time of break out or with a nice amount of upside they would be worth something. After the fact posts should be filtered out it because other traders feel they are 'not as competent' or have 'missed something' when in reality an untimely mention of a trade might mean the trader himself has gotten aboard 'after the fact' or when the trade has lost its upward trend. This is important in these trying times as I am noticing traders buying on someones call way after the stock has made its move or even way before the stock has actually done anything and moves down. there are over 10 thousand people lurking on this thread and we don't want them running to make trades on stocks that were 'untimely calls' and just the garden variety "I made a killing on this trade sort of stock.. and tomorrow it will open 3 points higher."

Traders who post on time are exhilarated and rightly so, they post with humor and get us all 'involved' with the stocks success. They would be posting on time if they were getting in time, or not posting at all. Our regulars are fine and we are used to them, but some new posters come on saying that they made a killing or loaded up at 4:04 when the stock ran the last 45 minutes and no one mentioned it.

Other traders disappear the first few hours of trading and suddenly they are back claiming the 'best movers' of that time frame. Let's stick to timely calls, we are almost there compared to other threads. When we don't get timely calls temper your enthusiasm with a healthy amount of skepticism.. There are so few really good trades that we can climb on in time to make money we can't be wasting tme reading about trades that have fizzled.
