Daniel.. I am neither adoring nor a horde! lol But you got to admit these journals are proving lively and popular (aphie for example).. altho I would have to suggest to magna and the other moderators that they go easy with the old blue pencil.. I think anyone who starts a journal thread (and especially those with a commercial interest) should just take the heat without assistance..
For myself, I can read a LOT about trading.. I filter it like a whale gulping.. well whatever it gulps.. and deriving sustenance from the fertile and crapping out the useless.. if you follow me drift.. so to speak..
I think I am not alone.. and since no-one forces anyone to read anything here..so far as I know.. yet.. we might as well be glad there are so many posts.. have you been to other forums.. mostly dead as doornails.. boring.. which is not the case here.
I did spend a couple of months in allen's room on mtrader last year while trying to learn.. and I do get brandon's free newsletter (at least I think its free, I sure don't pay anything for it anyway) which is useful commentary... I never could follow anyone's calls tho.. so I flounder (do whales do that too?) on my own and try to make a living at this.. it aint easy and every crumb or nugget of potential wisdom is still welcome.. but of course.. as Tony said.. my true ambition in trading is to get to the stage that I too can start MyRoom and really start raking in the big bucks..
