I'd like to make a nomination: Linda Kaplan
This nomination is more a lifetime achievement award than a nomination for any one post. While I have the great blessing to follow this person on only one thread, she posts to many. However, my analysis will concern only the ZONA thread.
This person has an astounding ability to continually post absolutely nothing informative about the stock in question.
A quick analysis of the most recent 245 posts...I didn't want to go back any further...reveals the following:
1. she wrote 58 of 245, 23%, while providing not one original thought
2. of the 58, 34% were completely off topic
3. she is a thread moron
And I was very generous with considering what is on topic, exempli gratis:
#reply-5255019
"Let's see what X says about her read of the TeA leaves."
The sad thing is that she actually tries to remain on topic:
#reply-5404478
"Hank: I don't really want to discuss other stocks here"
Her comments that are on topic are incredibly brilliant observations, such as:
#reply-5420294
"I second that. Nice close on ZONA today, (for the shorts)."
If you waste your time and read through her history (which I don't recommend), you'll find lots of personal attacks on people for all kinds of things. She has told so many people that she won't respond to them anymore that if she actually started being true to her word she'd have to post most of her messages to herself. For what it is worth, she also seems to be quite paranoid.
If you make her mad she'll respond by doing all the things she accuses you of doing (without realizing she herself is doing all those things) and then gets mad when it is pointed out to her.
If you really get on her bad side she'll make comments like the following:
#reply-5219425
"You ask what his post means? Nothing, garbage, wasting our time. Like all his posts here. They are valueless and I stopped reading them."
Or worse yet, she'll continually threaten to report you to your employer for what she feels are violations. She dragged this dispute out for months and as far as I'm aware she still threatens him with it on occasion. He doesn't seem too worried.

This is one of those sad cases of the pot calling the kettle black...about a million times.
Are there any objections to my nominee?
Thanks,
Gary
