At it again eh?
Trashing Joe...one who it seems is more successful than you at your own game. I have personally come to understand that Joe is an extremely savvy trader, an excellent chart reader, and he does extensive dd. Sure he may not catch everything, but he beats any broker I've ever been involved with.
Joe's members know what is going on. At the time of his alerts, he posts his buys, the number of shares and the price, and often posts his portfolio holdings. This type of disclosure is all too rare these days and IMO, precludes him from truly meeting the definition of front running. Surely you won't find GSCO and the others disclosing to you their buys in stocks they are recommending... with targets some 100-200% above current trading prices. Compared to them Joe's moves are quite transparent. So if someone wants to buy something beyond Joe's price, that's up to them. He often recommends waiting until you get the price you want, among other things.
Stocks go up and down all the time. Joe is quite adept at picking spots to enter, just before big time gains, and of getting out before the inevitable retraction that every stock has after making big gains. To credit (or discredit) Joe for these inevitable ups and downs is naive and ignorant. Yes sometimes SA's influence affects a stock. But I've seen plenty of times where a GSCO or MLCO strong buy or downgrade affects stocks in similar fashion. Such is the way of the market. At least with Joe you get a bit more disclosure! And what about stocks that TJ has called amazing buys on, like CMGI, AOL, GBLX, INTC, ORCL etc..I suppose these goliaths all just sit there dormant, waiting to move only when manipulated by Joe and his ever shrinking band of members right? ROTFLMAO.
FYI- Joe does give back. He donated to PBS, NetAid and other charities (these are only the ones I am aware of, I'd bet there are more).
Also FYI- A@P is wrong about Joe's numbers diminishing to 900...that is rediculous. His retention rate is many times higher than Anthony has stated...Anthony, you just do not know the facts. Rest assured TJ's selection in the Time Digital 50 and his mentions on CNBC will surely boost memberships further. I hear major marketing is coming too. Don't be jealous. Don't be a poor sport. Be happy that someone from these boards has made it big...the American dream personified...He is paving the way for guys like you to come along and participate in empowering the individual investor revolution.
Joe is a great guy...maybe if you were not so blinded by hatred, jealousy and fear you would realize this.
P.S. Don't you think by shorting his picks, you and your sheep are in fact the ones contributing to the "dump" that you often alledge is the fault of Joe? That's suspect right there..you go on about how Joe is a pump and dump, and how his picks always sell off big time and investors get hurt...From what I have seen, Joe doesn't short his picks when they are active buys...so maybe it's you and others shorting massively into these gains who are the real menace to innocent investors.
