I find some of the discussions here on the forum very worthwhile for any of us traders. They would probably be even better for new traders. The biggest problem I see with them is some of the off topic commentary. If these threads were cleaned up, put in some type of continuous order they would make excellent white papers to be read by everyone. They could be made into PDF files and available for download.
