Actually, they do. See the posts by Robert Weinstein or Neke. Real traders that talk about their trades after the fact. To learn and so that others can learn from them and because they're interested in trading. But if you don't really trade, I could see why you wouldn't be interested in that or see any point to it. The only post with solid info from you was the one about how prop firms don't make most of their money from trading, but rather on haircuts for interest charges. At this point, I think I can safely add you to my ignore list without fear of missing out on anything. What you are good at is harassing other posters to the point of stalking. First Don Bright and now Stock777. You need another hobby. Trading doesn't seem to hold much interest for you.
The Tape Reading thread was classic IMO. It helped me out a lot before I started trading. Mav played a pretty large role in making that thread as educational and informative as it is.
A post with a supposed entry price is totally meaningless. That's why I dont do it. The only thing that matters is the time/date of the post and the direction.
Notice that old Mav has chosen not to respond to my example of a stock posting. SCOK, I bashed last year at $40 . Still a turd. 6 today.
I did not respond because I was out of town. Stock777, all your stock picks are invalid because you never state your position long or short or your cost basis. Anyone can just point out 10 stocks at random and then weeks later all the ones that went up a lot you come back and say you were long them and the ones that tanked you were short. Either way, you are a troll and I have no use for your posts anymore. I was asked to clarify something so I will. I have no relationship or affiliation with SMB. I have no idea why anyone on here thought that. I have 100's of posts on the prop forums that states the name of the firm I'm with. Anyway, time to stick a fork in this thread.
My position, long , short, or flat, is none of your business. Get it? That I share my insights at all should be considered a blessing. And I don't post 10 stocks at random, you probably cant find me mentioning 10 stocks in any YEAR. When's the last time you posted anything useful? Example(s)?
According to this post you claimed you were long although you never stated it and it was after the fact. Waaaaay after the fact. Too funny.
I never claimed anything 'cept why aren't you long the two names. Remedial reading may be available at your nearest senior center.
