TJ, Dale and Monty
I've no qualms about either of you trading in the Swing room, I know Dale fairly well from contacts outside SI and believe in his motives and have followed yourself on occasion and have no reason to believe you are anything but honest.

The initial question was raised since the site said NO TRADING by moderators and moreover NO POSITIONS in the equity market except through a blind trust.

Expectations of altogether altruistic motivations by yourself and Dale didn't seem to wash. And yes I did do some math and realized you would be left behind your apparent success rates in trading your own accounts.

It didn't and still doesn't make sense that two successful traders would lock themselves out from having the same opportunities that you've both enjoyed to date.

I have no problems with traders being moderators as long as the management of the site has some checks and balances in place. (internal to the site management and not necessarily available to the general membership)

I didn't mean to start a lengthy discussion but in the end I believe it might have been fruitful for the lurkers out there that have some of the same questions.

rgds and good luck
