By "secret" I only mean the paid for work that logically leads one to value a stock for a future move. Jenna's work gets her subscribers in early, if they choose to take that chance, before the critical time when momentum from commonly found news and analysis takes effect.

Oh come on Jim! Jenna's picks involve screens for volume, MACD, RSI, and various other indicators. You or I or anyone else could do it with a good data feed, a good software program and sufficient time. The stocks on her watchlist are picks because they are already under accumulation. The time when "that critical area in time" occurs is when the stocks get picked up by CNBC or are mentioned in the "In Play" section of Briefing.

I take it you're not a subscriber?

[Edit]

One other thing Jim. What Francois was complaining about here is nothing like what took place on Ike's thread last year, where it almost became like Spanky and Our Gang, complete with a secret handshake. I was offended by that and made that clear, if you recall. All that is happening here is that the people who have paid good money for Jenna's paid service don't want to see the day's watchlist posted on SI where 1000's of others who have paid zip can freeload.

Jim,

I suggest you re-read my posts. The 'argument' you're making is specious and convoluted to the point of almost requiring me to state in minute specifics what I meant about 'informed reality.'
I know how the market operates.. to a certain degree, and learn more about it every day.

I disagree with having paid-for picks posted within 24 hours. When I first saw what Jenna was posting in regards to the picks being good for several days I enjoyed that - because if I was in a few positions I wanted to keep and get into another afterwards from one of her picks then I could do so.
The service paid for is also for exclusivity as first defined when one subscribes. I do not believe that it ought to be changed unilaterally without first polling current subscribers.
