from time to time questions are asked as to why this thread and portfolio are not more widely followed and traded...i think this post with the sells made herein, and the next 6 or 8 posts, where the money is probably more than fully committed to short positions, established mostly in the strongest stocks in the market, on a day when the naz makes a new closing high for the better part of two years, with a chart that looks ready to break much higher, says it all perhaps my post won't be well received, but it is clear that the purpose of the portfolio has no relevance at all to the current operation of same....how much more irrelevant can a portfolio be than to state its goal is to find good stock ideas that can be followed and discussed by all, and then be dominated by short swing trades made mostly by one person, against the overwhelming trend of the market, and made trading against the strongest part of that strong market? i would change the name of the portfolio to the B&O portfolio, because that light you see is a train, and the portfolio is sitting on the tracks <G> JMHO carl edit: i'm sure the natural response will be okay, what is the solution? i think you have to limit each person to a certain amount of equity, no margin, no exceptions...if the portfolio is going to be 1M, limit any one person to 100K...certainly anyone can make trades of their favorite current ideas with that much money....that way at least there is a chance that more input will be possible as more people post trades, and if someone chooses to run a bunch of swings, at least it won't be the majority of the capital and/or activity
