Linda Radshke, I think, had a quote that I like "You determine the risk; the market determines the profit..." Of course, inaction by the trader is also a way to determine risk. If you cannot identify and manage the risk then stay on the sidelines.

What's next? To be on the lookout for Surf aliases. You can tell a surf alias as they usually have a low post count and all of those posts are replies to either Surf or RodSurfWhatever, or an attack on someone in disagreement with Surf. Sometimes, not always, they were recently created such...

Great post Justrading.... as I posted a few days ago Baron does not have to make any changes to software, only ban Surf again. Ban surf!!!! Work to create a friendly 'destination portal' where traders exchange ideas openly. There will be disagreements --- but healthy exchanges instead of...

Those were not my numbers Baron... but my quote was in the post because of someones cut an paste.... What numbers do you look at? New posts per day/month? Number of posts month to month? New registrations? Great subject!

Surf this is great news!!! Can you be more specific? Is this the Pink and Yellow Price Drivers or the Green and Red Price Drivers that are more clear today? May god have mercy on us all!!! Amen....

Magna suggested I repost this message from the 'Surf Alerts' thread

The best argument for a change in policy is probably reduced page views, reduced number of posts, and sponsors... At some point you have to make changes. What other changes could Baron make that could improve the key metrics? He cannot layoff people, sell buildings, etc. etc. Surf's...

More BS, it never stops. How did the secret databases help you over the last 10 years, 20,000 posts and not a single winning month? 'Put me on ignore', you know does not work, you have perfected your own version of ET 'rope a dope'. Someone starts a thread, you disagree with the subject...

I sat through this class when it was first offered last year but did not take it seriously. Taking it again-this time I plan to work. If you want an intro to programming and investment analysis this would be a good start. The course combines Excel and Python to download a portfolio of...

If you see posts you don't like why don't you use the ignore button? It's easy!!! :)
