Sorry to intrude, Jerry.. but there seems to be a 'movement' underfoot to undermine for reasons that are unknown but might be guessed at, the work and diligence of others. As I told someone on my thread, let yourself be known instead of hiding behind the 'facade' of anonymity. There are those that can and do, others can't and criticize. We've been through this before and for the most part uncovered these 'critics' as being part of a non-reputable competetive financial site. I would lend no credence to those that post and totally ignore them. There are scores of traders who try to make the step upward to commercialism and the trading business is large enough to accommodate those with talent, expertise and hard work. There are others who will do no more than hawk their posts on SI for years with the desire to break out but have only the talent to open threads and post and use the free forum to malign or imagine themselves to be able to emulate what others have done but whose only expertise lies on posting their prejudices using SI for their vehicle. Jerry has broken out and so have others, myself included. If you have a problem with that, bring it up with the SEC. There will be HUNDREDS of excellent traders, software companies, trading seminars, financial sites and authors represented at the online trading expo this month and I'm sure more than a few started right here or somewhere else similar. There are people that have a dream and if they are lucky, can live it. Others only stay in that limbo dream stage and begrudge those that make it happen. Ignore them, don't be DEFENSIVE (they feed on this) let them fade into the woodwork from whence they came. Misery loves company.

Whoa, that was a "mighty" loooooooong post ;-) ...and just when I thought I had "learned ya" to remember to make things nice and consice. ( and to be "short" more , once in a while !) Those items on your list are always a priority for any trader to keep focused on & remember, which even many experienced traders often do forget in the heat of a market day... (always good to have ready council, support, and feedback available, which you are always there to lend ) The value of a good trading room like yours, IMO, the building of confidence & experience , tracking stocks, having many eyes on the market , being updated often immediately with breaking news & events , having other traders advice and "reads"....intra-day charting updates, Tick & Trin..... plus learning to not forget those rules each day in actual trading. It's also to encourage and insist that people get the best trading tools , hardware, Isp connections and brokers they can find . (Though with a less frequent trading approach, as in waiting for sell-offs or tops , one can also swing very nicely in the market and can get by with a bare-minimum platform just fine ....just a matter of "style") Yet anyone that thinks they are going to be able to pay for a trading service and get spoon~fed plays made to them everyday without actively being involved with their own independent research , follow-ups , and knowing the trading habits of any stock in play is asking for difficulty. Are you the Real~McCoy Jerry ? Well your hell of alot more honest and conservative than many, with a wealth of experience, strengths and market skills. It is my opinion that trading rooms such as yours and Jenna's can be extremely valuable even to those newbies who would only wish to pay the membership , taking time in the interim to get squared away with setting up the right platforms connection and brokers, and just mainly paper-trade and learn the fundamentals....and still benefit in the end. Mr Market is never going to leave anyone back in the dust or sitting on the docks just yet . There will always be money to be made in the markets. <g> Patience ,proper allocation , trading less frequently throughout the doldrums, playing the am gap-ups & reversal periods, shorting/scalping, remembering to use stops, and finishing up the day with the proper reads of the "trend" are valuable skills that come with experience and can be learned by anyone subscribing to your trading-room email service, IMO. Many traders do not have the confidence skills or experience in shorting , but many many are interested now in learning this extremely valuable trading technique , that completes them as a well rounded trader. I can only say you work very hard doing your research and charting , a very stable and usually conservative player that doesn't ask anyone to take inordinate risks with their capital. The Trading room atmosphere is warm , alert , and amiable and you yourself are getting more an more accurate with your judgments and calls. You just finished one very superb week that any trader in "Da room" should have easily paid his or her subscription, the very minimum for 1/4 to 1/2 the rest of the year.... It is a tremendous undertaking , but contains more advantages than the average "chat rooms" like the SI/Raging Bull or Yahoo interfaces, with the tremendous excesses of postings , lack of speed of communication and the questionable veracity & anonymity of so many that post there. Much continued success with the room Jerry . Don't know if your related to "The McCoys" , but you are definetly for real !** ;-) *Ya even make a nice contrarian~indicator once in a while too! hehe
