I was away all day :-((
Steve, those people that stabbed you in the back don't even deserve that you forgive them. I know of not many people that are as devoted to something as you are to your thread, website and live chat. I know you have worked very hard since day one and I know you don't do it for the money. You do it for your own entertainment, and also to help a lot of people to learn about the markets, how to trade, how to avoid getting ripped apart by the market makers and how to be patient.
The markets have been extremely rough lately, and many have lost hope. The markets always recoup, and they will do so sooner or later. May the NASDAQ be overvalued or not, it will still come back. The people that lost hope lately should not forget how much you and Jim helped them and also others in the past. I've learned a lot from you, and unfortunately am I not yet to the point where I can get fully invested and get a real chance at this. Your thread was a great idea, and since it has started, it has been the best on SI. And by far.
Of course fewer stocks ran lately, but it's the market. BB's will always be there since companies don't start big. One day they will come back, and like Jim said, this thread will be around as long as SI will. You have no obligations here, you can leave anytime you want. It's a free country. Many people appreciate your very hard work, but we can't force you to keep doing it if it doesn't amuse you anymore.
Many look up to you for what you have done. If you were a pump and dumper or basher or anything of the kind, people would not come back here all the time. We post news in the Golden Lists Live, and jump on them if we like the story, and DD the stock together. How can that be frontrunning?
People make their own decisions. Trading depends on intelligence, experience, information, financial and technological resources, and most importantly emotions and psychology. No one must blame another because of the buying and selling decisions he or she makes.
So please reconsider, and never forget this :
If it doesn't kill you, it can only make you stronger
Every leader has enemies. You are getting attacked and threatened by a few, fine, let them waste their energy. You don't even have to bother replying to them. I discovered this thread by luck myself, and no one forced me to stick around since December 99. I was lucky enough to find THE BEST THREAD ANYWHERE.
May the Force be with you. Best of luck to you,
