COMPX triple top folks at 3339...be careful is EXACTLY the type of post we do want on the thread, and I for one greatly appreciate it... But a post like "buy stop 136 1/2 ARBA" sounds like an instruction - a type of post I don't think we should have as it sounds like a buy call in a trading room a "the house is recommending call"... And most newbies will see that, go for it thinking it's a sure thing and kaboom. Any post like that should be worded as "I have a buy stop in for my PERSONAL trade at 136 1/2"...it should not sound like this is a real time trading room where all traders follow the leader. Then anyone who follows realizes they are following ONE traders call on a stock - not the call or recommendation of a thread or a room. As far as posting on stocks that you are holding, well if they are tanking and you are trying to unload well then NOT. But if you are in a trade and see a further move - as I did on Blue today, i think it should be posted. As the trades you are in are the ones you are watching following closely and can give the best calls on. I'm usually always in BEAS - If I can't post about moves coming just because I'm in already - like my post early this am, I'll go nuts <ggg> Because when I see it happening, I can't keep quiet. So much so that most time I post a pick I'm entering before I pull the trigger myself. As far as OJs lunch posts <g> I must say they REALLY bother me as my fridge is usually lacking and they make me crave really good nyc style deli food <gggggg>

<ggg> ..I'll take the lunch recommendation any time, especially if he delivers! .. as for buy/stops calls, no this should not be part of a CALL on a specific mover. On this particular thread we don't offer instruction at all to traders. We want this to be each trader's own responsibility, as our header specifies. Opinions on reading market direction are welcome from anyone, but these too should be taken with a grain of salt because markets shift rapidly, and what if you dont' even happen to see the latest "update"?? ..you could be monitoring your own trades and keeping an eye on your own watchlists for example ... we don't want or need any "leader" on our thread, because we're not sheep ...and that's why our thread is geared specifically to traders who are comfortable making their own decisions. I think Jerry will be opening his own room soon, so please check with him via PM if you're interested pooh. No one can time the market as everyone knows, so Susan and I do not want or need "direction" from anyone, but we welcome "opinions" from all...
