Thanks for your very welcome opinion, TH.
It's a number of things. The most active stock forum has not been ihub for some time. But ihub holds its on- its one of many stock forums, now. I feel, however ihub is one of the nicest, most enjoyable forums, mainly because most of the "yahoos" have mercifully decamped for newer forums. Thing is, I have to regularly visit those forums to see where the volume is. Alas, those boards are not moderated and full of testosterone filled twenty somethings, spouting seven times more than they know. And laced with vulgarity and graphics you would be shocked to read and see. Also, ya get drawn into too much pedantic defending of your posts- very time consuming. And then of course there are the peacocks, "follow me because I know everything, before anyone", etc. And to prove their prowess, they point to their 1,147 followers, 96.3% of which were picked up at the Person Mark Exchange Board: https://investorshub.advfn.com/Personmark-Exchange-Board-22077/. LOL They go around with those Person Marks like they have had breast augmentation, lol. Ya find yourself parrying their posturing which is almost always wasted time. Well, you get the picture.

But my hUge, overriding concern is that a wonderful person, yet a novice in trading, would lose their money clumsily executing an alert from me. That thought haunts me any time I do an alert. I always use the example in my mind of the young man, soon to be married to the woman of his dreams. He is going to impress her by tripling their very hard saved wedding money by following an alert of mine. Well, as a novelist TH, you can imagine where my nightmare goes. He trades badly, loses all the wedding money and his beloved drops him as an unreliable gambler, no one to make a life with. Distraught beyond what is bearable, his only solace can be found in tracking me across the country, intent to finish me and then take his own, LOL.
