  1. i'm starting to think the day7793=stocktrader may have some legs. Days be positive, shorts getting crushed (even yesterday he said this?) diatribes do sound familar. He seems to vanish on down days or make totally ridiculous claims. And he does seem downright crazy!

    The experienced traders know who is and who isn't a trader - who's experienced and who's a novice - who has book knowledge and who has real world knowledge - who tows a party line and who's on the front line.

    I think that you can glean some nuggets of wisdom by sifting through the BS. That said how are inexperienced traders supposed to do this?

    And you can get bad advice from good intentioned posters as well whether because of a clash in trading styles, poorly worded posts or just plain wrong.

    Yes, mostly entertainment, some spam, and a little wisdom from a few quality posters.
