Jack, You talking about tracking contributions by posters at ET and applying "holy CRAP" and "easy BS" labels ! What about tracking the posts by Hershey, Grob109 and computing a crap index on that BS ?
If the main theme of this thread is big moves, take the last 17 days of the YM. Its a little above the norm of the past 3&half years. Of the last 17 trading days, 14 have had a range of 100+ points. Of those 14, 8 have been in a 150+ range!
