Ziggy, *****OT***** = Off Topic

People use this in the heading of their posts as a favor to those on the thread that only want to read about IOM.

It is a warning that the message that follows is off topic and can be ignored by those that are not interested.

And by the way... Welcome!

***** OT ****

HI Ziggy,

Welcome to the new comer club, including myself, I joined less than a month and I really enjoyed this IOM thread.

I don't know there is such a list for all those terms. I think people just make them up as they go along.

But this is what I knew so far:

OT means Other Topic ---- can post messages(some people also use this to brag about his/her sucess in stock trading, I think that is great for self motivation), news, chat, that are not relate to IOM. This way you can clik "Next" if you don't want to read that posting ----I found some time those "OT" postings are every entertaining.

BTW means By The Way.

"Rocky" symbolize, based on what I read in this thread, those anti-IOM.

I just discovered a good URL you may be interested. This URL will give you FREE real time quote, intra-day chart and 12 months chart etc. The URL is --- thomsonrtq.com

Have fun in stock trading!!!
