Jay:
I would say you are even high with that number of " active traders" with 50K plus in the account. My guess would be closer to 100.

LOL Ebo I sure hope not! However you never know. They do say that 95% of traders fail that would mean you probably are right.
Once again this thread will probably be deleted in about 10 mins lol!

... but, one of the attractions of this message board has been the quality of many of the contributors. Many of these contributors are either being censored or chased away. Sure there has been self promotion and a lot of BS, but you have to get everyone's opinion before you can see through the crap.

There seems to be a movement on this board to allow "advertisers" to say anything as often as they like. IMHO, this policy is self defeating. Many "advertisers" sound more like infomercials than contributors.

OK, so if ET wants only the opinions of advertisers ... so be it. However, to go back and remove prior posts is outrageous.

I have received a lot of valuable information on this board, but the tone is definitely changing.

Robert has helped many readers of this forum. It is a disservice to chase him and others like him away.

That is complete crap. Robert Green had been extremely informative to all traders. After all, all traders have to file taxes and they are always questions to be answered. By deleting all (most) the posts, you have done a big disservice to the participants of ET. I've had experiences in the past that have gone unanswered to Baron. So, I can say that I'm not totally surprised.

Good Luck Robert.

How much would it cost to run a site like this, without advertisers?

I would pay for that.

Poor decision by ET. I will not be visiting these boards again. Best of luck.

Personally when it comes right down to it the site has 19500 members. Lets break that down to realistic numbers though. Each of us probably have 3 handles so lets say the real membership is more like 6000 members.

3 handles? Really? I need to get me a 2nd one then.

Baron, you have some explaining to do IMMEDIATELY.. This is bullshit! Come out and explain WHY his posts have been deleted. Stop hiding behind your sponsors and explain yourself, coward! You are about to lose another Elitetrader member!
