As I review your posting history, I am trying hard to figure out why you even post here.

Have you ever mentioned a stock?

I have, but not in individual stock threads. Most of my stock posting has been on stock selection strategies rather than on individual stocks. I am generally not interested in the kind of stocks (high risk, speculative, micro-cap) which appear to be garnering most of the attention on the stock threads here. With these stocks there is too high a risk of stock manipulation which has little if anything to do with fundamental investing. I'm an investor, not a gambler or speculator. For example, the IBM stock thread has had only 17 posts in 10 months; GM doesn't even have a thread; nor does Ford; if you object that these aren't tech stocks, even though IH doesn't anywhere suggest it should be limited to tech stocks, well, ADCT doesn't have a board either, nor does ADPT, nor even does HP, all well established high tech companies which have made investors (including me) a lot of money in the past. But some stocks of, let us just say less well estalished companies, have garnered hundreds of posts.

I came here because I was looking for a broader stock discussion experience than SI provided without the uncontrolled irresponsibility of Yahoo or RB. I have so far not found that experience. I believed your intentions here were honorable, but I haven't yet found here a venue which seems to encourage participation by long term investors interested in serious discussion of stock fundamentals. I'm still waiting; if you can identify any threads which meet those criteria I would be glad to be pointed to them, but I haven't found them yet.

'm going to go out on a limb, and guess by your posting style and general persona, you are a lawyer/attorney?

Actually, I'm a minister, though I do also have a law degree.
