I didn't mean for the interaction this morning to get taken this far and my objective is definitely not to run people out of here. You would be amazed at the hackers that try and post websites to check out, outside resources that charge fees for services, hot stock picks that are only pyramid schemes, etc. To re-iterate I am not trying to keep other services hidden from you. I could care less about which websites you are members of, where you trade, where you get your charts, etc. I am only trying to tell you that most of this stuff you don't need. An I am especially trying to keep away the resources that want to sell you stuff. There is no need to purchase any additional services. You have already paid enough!

I am not sure if you realize this or not but there are thousands of hits here per day. Which many people might see as an opportunity to advertise. Since I have never sold out and used this site to sell services, websites, etc. I don't think it is a good idea for others to do it either. For those out there who have seen the movie "Clerks" and remember the Chewlies Gum salesman that starts an anti-smoking riot to sell more gum...

Keep in mind that sales pitches are the only comments I delete. Please feel free to say whatever you want on this site. Especially comments like I read today "Is this really a trading community or an ego stroke combined with generating sales for investools?" If you feel I have an ego to check, tell me. Think one of my picks suck? Tell me. Think I am an undercover salesman? Hilarious. I hope you all feel comfortable enough to speak your mind. If you really feel there is a site or service (that requires a subscription) you want to share, e-mail me ahead of time, let's talk about it. Until then let's take what we have and make ourselves successful traders with it.

Enough of this crap, let's get some real posts going.
