Anybody who hangs out on this thread should just take picks from people who are credible---watch who you are taking advice from.

From a PM to me this morning: Fred - I agree with you 98%, but I do think you all have developed a certain "stance" about us lurkers.........We're not all newbies, and some of us actually know what the hell we are doing.......I have no intention of posting often on Kim's thread because you are correct - there is way too much clutter. Please though do not adopt the stance of most on Kim's thread that those that do not post are lurkers and therefore irrelevent and should not be heard from...........My guess is that both of us have done absurdly well this year.....SI membership or not...many postings or not I feel I owe an apology to the lurkers. I'm sure amongst them is the next big Guru. Also Stan, I have read and used your TA. Posts with TA, FA, or news are always helpful. Somehow we have got to get the amount of posts down by at least 50% Too much good information gets lost and there is not that much time in the the trading day. For the people who merely reiterate what they are doing or what they own, or post to ask Kimberly a question they know won't be answered, please keep it to a minimum. As for the new faces who criticize and point out what they think is wrong, perhaps we can eliminate those. Truthfully, I don't really care if there are 3000 posts, because my ignore button keeps it to a usable number. If making money is your main priority, then you would agree with me there are too darned many. I would suggest everyone go to Jenna's Market Gems thread if you want to see a successful thread. Jenna works from a pay site, therefore many of the picks are from Jenna's site and are in fact given to the members in code on the thread. What you need to recognize is the way the posters contribute. You will also notice many of the posts are from their 'regulars'. They have decided to put money ahead of ego. Granted with a pay site, more people have a vested interest on the thread succeeding. One thing we DON'T NEED is a bunch of people throwing out momo's. Since the momo's are not really working, not even Kimberly's, they should be self eliminating on this thread. stan s, you of all people shouldn't stop. You are one of the posters, just like Jack H, and Jason who have earned respect by posting winners. Believe me people if you make some good calls, people remember who you are. Ideally we need to keep our plays to a few picks, thus not diluting our buying power. Take the time to read Market Gems over the weekend. Try to use that as an example of what we are trying to build here. At this point, we have succeeded in killing the goose that lays the Golden Egg. Fred
