We really don't need after-hours quotes, and "Now at 200!" posted here every day Okay, I mostly agree. -But- There are times when I actually go back and read old posts, sometimes very old, usually pertaining to an event in a company that later turned out to be significant (and often to see which authors on the thread best anticipated the outcome). In such cases it is usefull to find the posts that say "Now we are at $XXXX" to keep the perspective. Sure I could dig up historical data in another window and cross-correlate but it's easier if it's on the thread. The worst posts (And I am not implying anything about your post) are those that have some brief comment with no context. I don't even mind a bit of off-topic mixed in if it encapsulates the news and political climate of the time - but don't over do it. I think each of you who write here should consider that these words are part of the history and research that people will read long past the time the stock was at $XXXX when they are doing their Due Diligence to invest.

Guy Gordon: " Day traders taking over this thread ". Would it help if I went long? at least for a while? :-) ( sort of behave and keep mom and dad happy for a while ). I am thinking that with earnings and the split coming up and all the good news it is a little bit dangerous to trade all your position. What if I traded part of my position and went long on another one? Would I qualify as a long or as a day trader? Questions..... so many questions....so little time.....

No. In fact, I was thinking of complaining about this myself. We really don't need after-hours quotes, and "Now at 200!" posted here every day. But my question to Tunicia was about methodology. If you feel it's off-topic, I'll take it to PM.

Guy, I agree we don't need cheerleaders. They just add noise to the signal. I do feel, however, that technical analysis should be presented, even if it is of just short term relevance. For example, I expected JDSU to trade down or flat today. I should have posted that and my reasons yesterday. Such analysis would be of interest to those making long term or short term buy or sell decisions. Such technical analysis might include after-hours movement.
