Jenna, what's a subscription cost to your site ? I looked around there, but it doesn't seem functional yet. Also, I wouldn't let some naysaying get your feathers too ruffled. Anyone that trades knows to watch earnings plays carefully, and I can't doubt that you left the scene of the TOM crime early...It's only those who haven't been burned like that before, that'll get caught....(sigh)...the high cost of tuition at Univ. of Wall St. If you'd like my advice, rise above the criticism and just keep doing what you've done for the last 10,000 posts. Dick

Jenna, <<<He posts on another thread, which paradoxically, I enjoy reading and the motivations of his posts I find suspect. Especially in light of the fact that they have their own portfolio, website, etc.>>> As a member of the "other thread" I must take exception to your comments. It is true that we have a portfolio that is actively traded as though it were real for learning purposes only. We do not have a website, it is my personal website where I update our stock picking contest. We have no newsletters etc. and have nothing to sell, unlike this thread. We are just a group of individual investors who happened to come together with different ideas that we share. Just for the record...I watch Ron and Dan trade almost daily and have yet to see them make a bogus trade. These are honorable individuals who I highly respect. Regards, Paul
