Hello everyone,

Good trading to all of you!

Before we post (and I mean all of us myself included) it is always important to ask ourselves "Is my post of help to others?" Sometimes it is better to move along without comment.

When someone shares on the forum the are putting themselves out there. If they take the time and effort to post a chart then that effort in an of itself is worthy of respect (their time and contribution).

Perhaps we don't agree with them but is it of value to simply say that? Ridiculing, belittling or otherwise cutting them down not only means that they are less likely to post their analysis in the future, it hurts the thread.

There is no need to comment on everything - except from our egos.

If all our post does is add negative energy then eventually the forum shuts down and becomes a wasteland of a few bitter people sniping at each other.

If you have another analysis by all means share it. But make it analysis not just "I think you are wrong." Sharing it in a neutral, non-directed way is usually best (without a quote of the other person).

Trading is a tough endeavor.

I personally appreciate when someone shares a new or original way of looking at things. It gives me the opportunity review my analysis and consider another viewpoint.

Let's keep it positive and play nice.

2. January Expiration Day, Down down 10 of last 12.
3. January Expiration Week horrible since 1999, Dow down big 8 of last 11.

Many low-post, 2009 accounts suddenly active here on ET. And plenty of them looking for a "calm" response.

Interesting.
