"Maybe they're spies."

Linda:

I know you're joking, but--and this is a point I've always wanted to make on SI--this IS a public forum, followable by everyone, including MMs. I think a lot of people exaggerate, even if by implication, the size of their holdings; some may even outright lie. All that being equal, I believe that mentioning position size, except for specific reasons where it cannot be helped or perhaps is to your advantage, is a grievous mistake. The market, particularly the non-Exchange stocks, is a high-stakes poker game: It's almost impossible to know, even if you have Level II, to know who's even really bidding and asking; showing your hand outright, unless it somehow benefits you to do so, makes no sense whatsoever.
Just MHO,

Ivan
