QuietWon. what are you are doing is admirable. From someone like myself who has run a thread on SI (now it's #1)for two years (march 27 is our anniversary) and is now running a 'premium' site still utilizing the same honesty and integrity that I hold to be of paramount importance.

There are few internet areas as open to corruption and manipulation as stock selection and/or bulletin board posts are. There are at least 1/2 dozen threads that I frequent with the same high standards. I personally wish the rules governing bulletin boards and/or stock selection sites were more stringent.. It would make it easier for the 'honest' to survive while weeding out the shysters.

I think anyone has a duty to complain if they are the victim of any dishonesty, 'pumping & dumping, ridiculous claims of enormous riches, or How easy it is to drop your day job and become a trader' without mentioning the risks inherent in such a monumental decision.

I've always been a proponent of 'high standards', kept away from shoddy posts, or giving voice and attention to hypsters whose sole purpose is to propagate their own useless picks, or provide a forum for the those that yearn for attention-getting maneuvers that they can only enjoy on a forum such as SI. Can I please reprint your urls on my Market Gems Website? I think what you are doing will ultimately foster a new wave of 'honest' internet financial businesses and that will benefit all of us, the business as well as the clients, in the long run.
