I think we have many awesome people here. We have more good than bad here. It's just the bad (those who think this is their personal lottery), whine the most and whine the loudest when they don't get rich on Pick day.
Just read the posts right after profit taking here, and you can clearly see who the inexperienced traders are, you can clearly see who thinks this board is to make them rich over night.
Trading is mental... period. If everyone has a certain mentality it has to be addressed or it will stick around. We use the survey's to overcome the fear of being the only one jumping in a stock, and that has proven very successful.
Do I need to run a survey and ask who is going to buy on the first dip? Would that give everyone the comfort that the team IS BUYING THE DIPS? Yesterday there were so many spots where the buys could have sent CYOS flying again on its next leg... many would rather whine!
Wasn't meant to be a pep talk... it was the truth. Sorry if the truth hurts, but I was the one answering and deleting posts all day yesterday when the whining started not you.
When we first started with the people we invited to come over b/c we knew them and trusted them, the play went great... it was played like a team.
Then word got out, our membership grew, and we have since gained a lot of traders who see this as a lottery for themselves. Their mentality is get in early, and if they can't get in before the first profit taking, they spend the day whining.
The problem here isn't the stocks, the problem here isn't the PPS, the problem is the mentality of the group. All of the stocks we're picking will fly... we've proven that. The L2s are thin all the way up... that can be clearly seen.
The problem is when the first profit is taken, instead of seeing that as an opportunity to get cheaper shares and start the next leg up of the larger run... everyone would rather bitch about how this system doesn't work. LMAO! The stock just went up 650%, some took some profit (which they are supposed to do), and the L2 is still very thin... that is a prime time to jump in and continue the run... but this group would rather bitch. It shows we have inexperienced traders that are clueless how a run looks.
I agree with you.
The iBox has all the information that can answer all or most of these questions before they're asked.
Next pick is tomorrow... in the iBox.
Email is sent on days of the pick only... in the iBox.
Email goes out at 9:45 on Pick days only... in the iBox.
We will email and sticky post at 9:45... in the iBox.
redlepper, yes, on the days we put out a new pick of the day, it comes out at 9:45 AM EST. The pick will be emailed if you are on the email alert system, and it will also simultaneously be sticky posted... at the top of the messages in the yellow section.
Yes, I saw that yesterday lol. All of the picks we make will move... it just takes people to want to move them.
The plan is CYOS should still have some life. If it comes out at the bell strong, then it can move. Yesterday's push into the close was a good one... so let's see if CYOS can move today.
joyce, thanks for the thoughts... some great points. We have gotten a lot of excellent feedback today, and hopefully we can apply the positives to the betterment of this group moving forward. Of course, if we do implement some of the new ideas, there will be a whole new group of detractors on the next play that point the finger at us for going that direction...haha.
I think a key is that we need more shares at the bottom... the PPS needs to sit still long enough for more of us to get in near the bottom... then we need a more gradual move upwards. I am not big on chasing, but I would likely chase further if I wasn't changing my order every time to the tune of 6 times. We need a resistance point at the alert ask.
Anyway... thanks for your input!!
Yes, on the days where a pick is announced that is correct.
Amen brother!!
Fusion and I will be on the phone together and pushing the enter button at the exact same time.
Anytime!!
LOL nice one!! umm ok. ;)
rodster, if you look at the top of these posts there is an area shaded yellow. That is the sticky posts.
I like a smaller group! Maybe it will be filled with traders ready to run it up and buy the dips vs sitting out altogether.
They will be sticky posted now at the same exact time as the email goes out.
I won't say what you sound like.
Yes, I have! Thanks for your time goodbye.
That is my point. We need to know that the pullback is only the start of the next run up. That is a point that needs to be understood and this group needs to trade that way. There is no reason over 300 people can't run a stock much higher than we are, and much longer than we are. Getting in from the start (very bottom), isn't the only way to make money here. I made more on the dips on the first play than some who got in at the start did overall.
We have just since decided that when the first profit is taken that we're done... that is not the case b/c the L2 is still crazy thin, and we still have plenty of firepower/buying power. We need to realize what we have, and we need to make the dips our friend!!!
Yea, you probably have a good point there. I think we need a live one play a day seminar where everyone is on the call, and we lay out the trading plan lol... no really!
LOL no worries! What you had to do is/was far more important in my eyes. My prayers are with you and your wife... hope she's getting better.
Problem is twofold. We don't want people to chase out of their maximum entry point...
BUT, if you don't chase, you are SUPPOSED TO BUY ON THE DIPS to continue the run once profits are taken in the first leg.
When we say don't chase, that doesn't mean not play at all.
Today, most didn't chase (which is good), but then most didn't buy on the dips and most didn't get in at all (which is not good).
Why do we have a mentality here that if you don't get in before the first profit taking, that the run, and the day are over?
I do :) loving me some Heels!
huh?
Yea that is phdintrading who posted that. He is an enemy of this board, and he's tried to kill it ever since he came up with his board Green Group One Play A Week, that is no longer an iHub board. He has tried to take members away from this board to recruit to his own plays. Keep in mind this is the same guy who a while back recruited a few here on some group play... then he posted over on that board that his team was trying to pick up shares on the BID!!!! Genius move!
I would hope that we can still make CYOS run after today's push into the close. It will obviously move with buying pressure, but we need that pressure... it would be nice if some folks come in from alerts that went off today.
That is not what I said.
If the next pick isn't until Wednesday, if we have one at all, then of course tomorrow we will still be trading our current choice... CYOS. We had a nice push into the close, so hopefully that can translate into a strong open.
It was put out AFTER SMMT and the days of trying to save our members... that this board was started as one play a DAY. Originally we were only playing these picks for that day... but when we had some left over in our first pick MLHP, we chose to play it again and help out as a team. Well, MLHP went well as a TEAM. Everyone had an opportunity to get out of that one when we pushed it to a new high on day 2.
We didn't see a TEAM on SMMT. Our first play was a much smaller group that went well. Since we've gotten a lot more members, and now we have traders who aren't thinking about the TEAM. They are just hoping to get in early and make 4000% and sell. If they get there they dump, if they don't, they spend the rest of the day bitching and moaning b/c they didn't get rich today. This is why we'll be bringing over the original traders we invited to start this board... and did it the right way as a TEAM in our first play before this board grew out of control.

We appreciate the ideas :)
The site is being worked on.
Picks will be EMAILED AND STICKY POSTED at the EXACT SAME TIME.
**Keep in mind that the enter button will be pushed on both at the exact same time, but the email has to be routed, so the Sticky Post will likely be seen first.
It would be difficult to control a large group to get everyone to do their part... plus what about outsiders who are just reading our board, getting the symbol and buying? They won't care about our gameplan.
It's all good you have to do what is best for you.
I understand. You can always wait for the website to be finished and join us private.
Then just wait for the sticky post which will be posted at one push of the button... the email will have to be routed and will take longer.... they both will have the enter button pushed at the exact same time.
I agree
Everyone can just wait for the sticky post b/c obviously it will be up before the email reaches its destination.
Everyone picked a maximum entry point and when it passed them by... instead of buying the first dip, like everyone was supposed to... everyone just sat out altogether.
Again, this is why once the site is ready, we need to go private with only x number of traders who understand the concept and trading.
Including the MMs when all those orders go in premarket and they see a high demand and gap it up HUGE
