Couple of days ago I read how the crap was going to be cut out and thought it wasn't a bad idea. The crap drives away the posters who have ideas to exchange. Two years ago I started reading this board because Alan Farley had a link on his website. This morning I read his "things he hates about Wall Street" and one was what he called "board slugs" and how they destroy rational communication, and that the anonymity cripples the boards. I don't know if Alan visits here, I think he does, or did, and the crap was probably the reason he removed the link from his website. I am totally against censorship, however moderators should remove the useless and negative pettiness.
For all its warts and bruises Elite is still a unique resource. I refer traders here all the time, especially when they have serious questions that need to be answered. As for why the link isn't there, I'll be damned if I can remember where it was or why it was pulled. Maybe Barron and I were having a food fight or something. That comment was inspired by this place and the Yahoo board. An anonymous environment requires a lot of self-policing. There's very little moderators can do about a lack of basic manners and mutual respect.
"As for why the link isn't there, I'll be damned if I can remember where it was or why it was pulled." Morning Trader, 7 bells, left side under heading for boards. PS: The one sentence market comment has always been good.
Alan, you´re reading this? Thank you for your book & your "Predator or Prey?" article. I removed the Bible from my bookshelf in order to have enough space for your brilliant work. And regarding the article: it strongly inspired my diploma thesis one year ago and helped me get my career in institutional trading started
:eek: Hopefully you put your Bible somewhere within easy reach, but that is a thought for another thread isn't it?
good commentary, also his article mentioned: White guys in suits.... Death spikes -- 20 point futures moves... Board slugs ---- huh, we all qualify for that....
