It's just you! The individual posts of good and bad trades, long and shorts, small positions or large sales provides a lot of insight into what the "little people" are doing. The other day one of the so called experts appearing on CNBC proclaimed it was the general public, the "little guys" who were pushing this market. The public didn't sell on Monday but definitly bought on tuesday. Even though this thread is a little biased, it still is a great indicator of the general public's position. Although there appears to be some well informed general public "little guys" (and Girls) participating on this thread. I don't post much but I sure do read everything on here and I have a large postion in IOM. So just enjoy what's set out. Over look some of the bad humor. You can learn alot if you listen.

As long as we're expressing opinions about what is appropriate for this thread, I personally don't mind all the details. Post whatever you want. You can usually tell from the header what the contents of a post are, so if you don't like the constant updates you shouldn't have any trouble avoiding them. . . By the way, I do appreciate the unwritten norm of putting a OT*** or something by posts that are "off topic"--kind of curious how these useful norms are developed and sustained, even in a faceless social interaction situation like this one. . .

Re:Is there anyone here but me who is tired of prices being posted every 5 minutes? As one of the guilty parties here, I must admit that I appreciated the responses to Ken's tirade concerning the number of posts that relate to "short term" trading. One poster said to refer to the headings and just ignore the ones that relate to these issues. That is why I always head my posts on volume with such arcane language as "Volume Update" Regarding short term trading vis a vis long term trading (whatever that means), considering that Iomega went from $30 on October 22 to $22 on October 28, back to $30 on November 4th, one would think that there was no potential for profit on this stock from October 22 to November 04. I would sincerely doubt that many on this thread missed the opportunity to take advantage of this price volatility to load the boat during this period of time. And I would doubt that those that trade in this stock would want valuable information such as Darrell's to be deleted from this thread -- critical information that allows the small guy/gal to have a better understanding of the movement of a stock such as this -- critical information that the big guy can get at any time. Ken, I suggest that you spend less time cluttering up this thread with your constant whining and more time providing useful information for others to benefit from. For if you (and anyone else) does not wish to waste their time reading information that can benefit the "short term" trader, just spend a second to read the header. It's that simple.
