I agree with keeping the size fo the trade to yourself. No reason, just good manners. Some people on this thread have huge accounts(or they must if they can speculate in inuts with over $5M) but I suspect even they can not move the markets one way or the other. So the size of any trade is irrrelevant information for the purpose of most discussions. The exceptions are (obviously) flamefetes, showoff and (unlikely but possible) an attempt to influence the little guys decision by gaining stature/credibility that comes with being a 10+millionaire. Then there is "Bald Man From Mars" who used to tout his lack of money, his bad decisions and his poor ability to invest/trade etc. He was funny, but I never understood his angle(maybe he was just satiring the big mouths?)...
