I am a lurker on Tim and Kim's threads. All I see over the last week is everyone criticizing everyone else on these threads. You guys need to grow up. Make the trades or don't make the trades, that's your own decision. The only fees any of us are paying are to SI to participate. Thus, I nor anyone should expect anything out of anyone's picks.

Tim. Relax. You are very well respected amongst your peers, including me as a lurker to your site. What gives? Why the attitude? It sounds like you have a personal vendetta against someone or the whole thread for that matter. There will always be people touting stocks here or there (including your site). People have to make an educated decision when to buy or sell someone's suggested pick. You have to ask yourself after a call is placed on a stock. Should I really buy a stock that is up 150% for the day, even though there is no news to be found. Should I buy a stock that is up 35% after taking a look at the one year chart, only to see a bearish pattern. Ect. I am not afraid to say it. I lost $$$ on a few suggested picks today. I chose to get in as well as get out with a loss. The key is, to limit losses and maximize gains, of which I did today. Every day is different. Everybody has a right to voice their opinion. Would you rather have the thread talking about the weather all day, and on occasion mention one stock that everyone is holding for the next 5 years? I don't. Many others, IMO, wouldn't like that either. Bottom line, people power provides buying power. Some picks are good and some are bad. It is up to the individual to decide whether or not to buy or sell. The key is to minimize losses and maximize gains. Period! Enough said.
