The questionable value of posted market calls

Quote from Thunderdog:

I have an opinion I would like to share.

As I see it, posting trades without the full underlying premise for those trades provides no value whatsoever to anyone but the poster himself who seeks to do nothing other than draw attention to himself. If the trades make money, then he is a star. If the trades do not do well, then we are expected to offer our understanding and support. Either way, the poster gets his ego stroked and the rest of us get nothing out of it. Not that I expect someone to tell me how he trades, as I would not share my own method either. However, what possible value do posted trades have to anyone who does not know exactly why those trades were made? What purpose does it serve other than to draw attention to the poster?

Any thoughts?


How about another thread....the questionable value of your posts!
 
I think that many around here question too much others' posts, ideas, intentions, ... and less themselves.

Browsing through ET's threads is worthy enough for me to put up with the relatively large number of worthless and / or rude posts. I pity ignorance, I dislike rudeness, and I despise rude ignorance.

Fortunately there are some knowledgeable and nice posts too.

More to the point, are you just a gratuitously abrasive asshole, or do you have a point to make, with supporting evidence to back it up?
