Why subscribers do it is simpler 1) Same reason everyone doesn't use full-service brokers - people want advice and dont have time to learn/do research 2) i think there is also the ability to "blame" others when things dont go right which people like to do (e.g. those damn market makers, or that damn greenspan). dont know if there are others - i only looked at jenna's cause someone mentioned to me how "great" all her picks looked as she posted them - of course i saw she was only posting the winners (they are are after-the-fact posts) - which as i said, makes her thread look like an infomercial - when i dared question her, i was berated, and i now assume more are since she saw fit to move to a moderated thread (to keep the audience clapping- lol) actually, 1 other one is Anthony@Pacific - he is mainly a short player - same story there - i've never seen him admit to a bad trade and if anyone questions him, they are beaten down (never mind the fact that he's been to jail for fraud)
