  1. My real name is Stock776, and I would never use it on any board.

  2. I agree with the rest of you, not a good idea to reveal who we are. This is why I don't think it's a good idea for the Traders to reveal who they are. I went through a hell of phone call and emails with the most sob stories of people demanding I owe it to the human race to help them make up the capital losses from 2007-2009, it was really freaky and I had stalkers. So, let's keep our privacy to ourselves on this board and may we might make friends after getting to trust somebody over time. My JesseJamesFinn is the only username (I have a Farmer Jesse James or 4JFarmers on Elite Trader too, I own a Avocado,Citrus and rare bananas and specialty fruit Farm).



    I use this name everywhere, once with Motley Fool I had made it to the top 30 on their Caps forum, it was fun until I started getting hundreds of emails begging for advice, weirdest email was somebody asking me to trade their account and make up all their capital losses. I let the MyCaps rating go straight to Sheol, what's the use of trying to be number 1 if all you are going to get is bombarding by people wanting to use you? In 2009 I stopped writing research reports under a different username I had made to the top ten of Motley Fool and stopped it. ...


    I intentionally allowed the active account to move away from #30 back to 300 up to 1000 and now at 6000 out of 75,000 people to avoid all the emails for help. So, out of 3400 trades even after allowing this to be ignored, I still have a alpha of 3.5% with this account and 40.5-41% Alpha on the long-term Fool Account I have not touched since 2009.
