Re: bad idea... Basically a non-event for us premium SI members. As long they leave our boards alone, I could care less about a "public" board. Instead of bringing in more noise, SI should address the constant server problems. Twick

Floyd--I agree. For what it is worth in influencing SI I started a thread on it. Subject 37309 All the Best Druss

SI is probably trying to compete with Spam Central (Raging Bull). I bet they just want to show a ten-fold number of posts per day to attract and retain advertisers. IMO, not a good move.

A message To ALL: I borrowed these thoughts from a good friend and it encapsulates exactly how I see things as well. Just wanted to share it . I think the market is way different than when you left. The "low hanging fruit" of shorting is not so plentiful now. Its gonna separate out those who short for instant gratification -- daytraders on the short side -- from the pros. Gonna shake out and leave behind those "fair weather shorts" who think shorting is a guaranteed series of 10 point same-day winners, including plenty of hangers-on on your site. * Fewer daytraders now than last year * More of them playing the short side * Fewer momentum stocks, greater concentration of daytraders on the few remaining darlings, therefore pigpiles that go on for weeks or months before unwinding: HAND a perfect example * ONXX was the first of these in August. When it didn't break after spinning a 20 million volume day, heavily overshorted, it saw multiple BS squeezes and surges, took nearly two months to settle out, during which time it was impossible to tell from trading what the hell was going on with it. Thinking about SHRP as the best short of the week. Makes sense. No pigpile, just some dumb money. ( big Score for us, that shasnt stopped giving, in addition HUF will also be a great win( it is off 30% already ) as well as GSTRF ) I think this piece gets it right: "The Last Days of Daytrading? The Net Collapse Has Left a Smaller Group" Useful read. thestreet.com
