I think it is conversations like this that tend to hurt rather than help SI. LG is a well respected individual whose comments ought to be listened to, he's got a proven track record. Anyone like LG and there are many, were even more, who puts things on the line in terms of writting is apt to make errs. For g_ds sake, were only human. Instead of nitepicking and looking for a perfect sage, shut up read and garner what's worthwhile from those who are willing to share. bill

Vitas: "I am holding off for now as MMs continue to sell (increase their ask size) into the start of any rallies, so far!". That was an intraday observation; I was watching Level II to help with my entry. I was expecting the area just under six to provide support (and it did) and as I always do, I watch my intraday indicators in "real" time in an effort to time my trades at what level or levels I anticipate will be good entry or exit points. You know (or should know), price action support/resistance levels and or pattern constraining trend lines and or support/resistance trend lines. Vitas: If you traded the markets you would understand that. and then went on another 2 week vacation after which invariably he tells you that he did everything just right in the interim no further mention of NTAP: When the market gets active and more importantly when I am actively entering or exiting positions I do not always have the time to stop and post. On more than one occasion doing so has cost me good entry or exit points. Vitas: If you traded the markets you would understand that. I took time away from message boards with one of the major reasons being...to get away from troublemakers like you. I have posted quiet a few of my trades and much of my analysis publicly often and for years on SI, IHub and the Crystal Ball. For the most part I rarely post about any trades I have made that were not called publicly, because I realize posting about them after the fact does little if any good for anyone reading the post and I have stated such many times. On SI, IHub and the Crystal Ball there are many examples of my timely (before the fact) publicly announced positions and expectations. Some have just been wrong. I am not perfect and have never claimed to be. Fortunately many more have been right than wrong and many were contraire to the expectations of the majority at the time. And, in the vast majority of my trading calls or publicly presented market expectations I supported them with my own analysis and my own charts presenting that analysis in a graphical representation. There always seems to be a few folks that want to attack those of us that take the time to not only share our work, but step up to the plate and make a call, you know...express a public expectation as to what we think will happen and provide our analysis as to why we think it will happen. I have posted many public trades and market expectations on SI, IHub and elsewhere. I stand on that public record. Sure, some of my expectations have been wrong, fortunately most have not. For the most part, I do not post about my "non public" trades, as I have always felt to do so was of little use to anyone. And when I do, I almost always state that they are "after the fact". Sometimes I forget to do so, but not often. Now I noticed you have lately begun to post a link to a chart page of your own. However, I have seen little analysis provided by you. Instead of attacking me or others, how about stepping up to the plate on a regular basis for a few months or a few years and providing us with your timely (before the fact) public calls supported with your analysis as to why. Let's see how your record plays out, ok? I suspect if you ever do so in a sustained manner (and I will not hold my breathe) you will not be so quick to attack others... LG PS: Vitas, please find someone else to have a vendetta against.
