Matt: I do it on occasion, but more often than not when I post a trade, I try to post what I am going to do in advance coupled with my analysis as to why, so folks have the time to investigate, do their own analysis and make up their own minds...do their own due diligence.

Frankly I can rarely find the time to post my trades in a timely manner. I don't see how Zeev does it.

Regards,

Matt, I think I queried you about one person who promotes himself and you pretty much told me that it was okay as long as they weren't blatantly doing it. (I forget exact words), and you even hinted that since that individual advertised with IHUB that, that was another reason it was okay! Can you be specific for us dumb masses?<G>

Actually, Matt, I found that since I post "real time" (these are not real time, they are between 5 to as much as 20 minutes late for various reasons) my trading has improved. That discipline forces me to stop self "rationalization" of why staying in a losing position. Every trade I make is questioned, particularly when it goes wrong. I try and give "advance notice", as well, like "within the next thirty minutes, the lunch tactics will be launched", or I am eyeing this stock to pounce on (particularly falling knives....<g>), or I am stating to "harvest" the last deployment. Hey, there were times, where it was so transparent, that Larry Duddash would announce, within 5 minutes Zeev is going to buy (or sell) XYZ. I am sure that a lot of people are getting so familiar with my "style", they are already doing it better than I (MyHunch and D2 come to mind). Apart of that, I think that the more important part of my posting are the daily maps, the short, medium and long term outlooks, even though, I had a stretch there in the last few months, calling the intermediate bottoms right, but completely missing on the strength of the subsequent advances (three times in a row, that is quite a "rout".)

the one thing I really wish more people would do, not just paid gurus is post real-time trades

not sure what you mean by "not just paid gurus", i haven't seen any subscription gurus call anything in realtime. there's precious few people doing that, and as far as i can tell they're all doing it gratis. i know i am.

>>I have MUCHO respect for anybody who posts their trades in real-time. Buys and sells<<

you're exactly right... anybody that says they "don't have time" is blowing smoke

i've always been amazed by the number of heavily people-marked 'gurus' who spend so much time posting their opinions but really never post any actual trades, except the successful ones in hindsight
