THREAD MINERS....DAILY SI IDEA FLOW First of all thanks for everyone's responses to post #4735. I think we have a sufficient core of interested full timers to pursue this. My suspicion is that those of us that spend 9-5 infront of CNBC and SI are all doing pretty much the same thing..we have 'bookmarked' about half a dozen 'topic' threads and an equal number of 'individual' posters. I spend/waste most of the day thread hopping around my bookmark list looking for the next tradable idea. I spend some amount of time after market hours discovering several worthwhile posts that i missed during the day..and so it goes. Over time i've pared down my bookmark list to the threads and people that I've felt 'comfortable/profitable with; as I'm sure others have done..sound familiar ??? It occurred to me that this is a highly inefficient process and prompted several requests on my part to SI administration to request a 'prompt' feature to notify the user in real-time when someone from the bookmark file makes a post. This would be an incredibly powerful feature as most posts are 'time sensitive'. Imagine all 'Trader J's' have each other bookmarked..somebody makes a post and we all know it simultaneously no matter where or what we are doing on SI. Since this capability does not exist, I was trying to figure a way to efficiently 'mine' the SI threads for the 'daily idea flow'. What I propose is that we do collectively what we all do individually here on SI. We should consolidate cross/reference all our bookmark files..both topic threads and people threads that we frequent. We then assign/volunteer specific people to do what we all do (ie) monitor and contribute to our favorite threads..follow our favorite posters etc.. but bring back the ideas we uncover to our thread..and we do this all in the open.. no PM's..no hype..no front-running..The 'thread miners' should/ will exercise their own 'pre-screening' and communicate back to the "traderJ" thread the viable ideas..we do a quick and concise DD per Jeff's post last night and come to a concensus.. This is really meant to organize our SI surfing and reporting procedures. If we can start the process I think we may find that our thread becomes a 'clearing house' for the daily SI idea flow to everyone's benefit. It may be chaotic at first but i suspect we'll attract like-minded people to us. If I'm nuts and completely delusional to think this could possibly work please let me know !!!! Here's my bookmark file in no particular order.. -Last Shadow's Position Trading -Market Gems -Rande IS..home -TokyoJoe's Cafe/sa/no pennies -Backdoor an IPO -e-commerce next 100 months -roaring i-net stocks -Rande IS -TATRADER -TokyoMex -Nanda -Sonki If the rest of you that expressed an interest in this from the prior post want to PM or post their bookmarks Jeff or i will cross reference it all so we get proper coverage..some of the more active threads will keep 3 or more people busy as you know.
