Kat,
re: LTB&H Investing
Your spending some time on NPI at TMF aren't you.
Yes I am. It is a pretty darned good thread and a great complement to the G&K SI thread.
I think TMF is a very good resource, but I have always disliked the interface even though the interface has some interesting features not available elsewhere.
In general I find TMF boards slow and not overly intuitive.
I do think that implementing a (modest) fee on TMF was a good idea. the threads seem more civil since it was instituted.
I basically confine my time on TMF to the Nokia thread which is better IMO than the Nokia thread on SI, the Rule Maker thread (which I consider to be the non-tech equivalent of the SI G&K thread even though the Rule Maker Portfolio does contain 3 gorillas and a king), and now the NPI thread.
I haven't posted much to NPI and probably won't, simply for lack of time to do so.
I do consider the RTW membership to be very valuable. there is a real treasure trove in the archives and Matt has done a heck of a job.
<< Between it and Rule the World there sure is a lot more going on than at SI.
Unfortunately you are correct. I do of course get a lot of use out of the various wireless threads on SI. Ramsey's thread is a great way to stay abreast of Qualcomm and the "Coming into Range" thread can be fun.
I spend most of my SI time on the two SI Nokia threads because the Qualcomm threads do lack objectivity and I have fun researching the dark side of wireless.
I'm an inveterate Gorilla Gamer so I still consider SI G&K my home thread, and on balance it is one of the most civil and objective threads on SI, IMO.
<< But, with a little better market I think even SI will pick up.
There is no doubt in my mind that it will (if it lasts that long and I hope it does), and one of these days we WILL have a better market.
I am candidly sick to death of BearTalk and I don't trade (much).
Best,
- Eric -
