Oh, one other thing you might want to do a bit more research on. I made my calls in real-time. I even stated that, if I 'pick' a stock, I would not 'buy' until after the pick was made. And I would not 'sell' until after I said I am selling. Lola can attest to that. And the SEC can check my trading records against my posts.

Yes I can attest to the fact that Matt has always conducted himself in a way that is above reproach with regard to his personal trading. He always gave the reader a chance to get into a stock before he did and get out before he did. You won't find too many people on the boards that can say that.

Mary you are barking up the wrong tree if you think Matt was involved in any front running or stock promoting. I watched him very closely as I did the Whiz Kid and as you will notice the Whiz Kid no longer posts on SI. I am one of the reasons he no longer posts there ... now there was a scammer!

matt: stock promotion vs investing

There's a big difference between picking and posting about stocks and regular investing. I own a few stocks and I don't sit on the boards posting "XXX stock going up, up, up!" "$20 after hours!!!" and all that bull. I do my dd, invest my money and just watch my investment. I'll go ask some questions, post some real news, positive and negative, and that's it. A good stock will go up based on fundamentals and news. It doesn't have to be artificially supported with tons of "XXX stock is taking off" "get on for the ride" "hold onto your seats." I don't try to affect teh stock price by posting rah rah all day long. I don't try to illegally manipulate the price of my investments. The only person who would sit and post "great investment, I'm buying more" "XXX stock, me want :-)" "SEVU, yummm" is someone who is trying to get the price up with their posts. I believe that is stock manipulation. I believe that is wrong. That is where you and I completely disagree. You think that is perfectly fine. I think it is stock manipulation.
