Sorry Chris if my comments offend you. Like I said, I have nothing but deep respect for the great and time consuming efforts you have made to further this thread.
Nonetheless, without a name and firm, it detracts from your position. I am much more trusting of someone that puts there name and firm behind what they say than one that doesn't ....Both could be entirely truthful and yet both couldbe liars.
Like I said, why wouldyou be up here posting if your email at AOL could be tracked back to you and you could lose your five, six or seven figure salary? Hopefully you aren't thinking that I am trying to take shots at you, thats not my point. But without full disclosure, you would absolutely lose your job if your supervisor found out. Think about what you are ssaying. They have rules, regulations, a pain in the ass, albeit ones, that you should be following when posting online as aprofessional, etc. You are choosing not to follow them. Pretty simple. If I was an NASD arbitrator and I found out who you are, I'd take your liscense.
My point....be careful. You think it might not ever happen and then it does. You look back and say, it definately was not worth it.
As well, the rules about disclosure are there for a reason. Without being considered a prude, you are violating them. And what makes one rule more important than the next? The particular rule about disclosure and sites like this are conceived for a reason, to protect investors.
Being a pessimistic person, I could see someone coming up here, building trust amongst readers, etc. only to later drop a name of a stock, like "yeah, well today I was buying tons of xyz for a large institution of mine". Would be a great scam. That is why disclosing your name and putting your johnhandcock behind your work is important.
Like I said, I respect what Chris has said and offered. Nonetheless, without full disclosure of who he is and where he works, he is violating NASD and SEC laws, he must know this, you should know it.
