Alex G: Maybe your comment is directed at me, because I did say I don't have the time. And I really don’t, if you are talking about posting my trades in a timely manner, not after the fact. If you look back over my posts, I do at times provide trades I am going to make in advance. Which is a little "more" than real time IMO. It gives folks time to make up their own mind by doing their own due diligence. I would not provide buy and sell recommendations for money, I don’t feel compelled to do it for free.

Now, I am not putting down those folks that wish to create a trading record online, but unless one constantly clicks these folks boards you can miss even the thought of duplicating the trade. And if you're trying to follow several of these folks, forget about it.

While I often day trade in the direction of the current trend, my primary technique is to identify coming market pivots and to identify stocks to trade that I think will out perform the overall market in the direction of the medium-term or longer new trend. Often I've provided a short list of stocks I think will do exactly that. Some of them have been duds, but for the most part most of them have done well. I recommended NVDA and NTAP a few days before the market bottomed in Oct 2002. I expected both would out perform the coming rally. Anyone that traded either of those stock in the direction of the rally should have at the very least doubled their money, as both stocks managed well over 200% gains from their respective Oct 2002 lows to their respect rally highs.

Whether I have the time or not, I am not personally inclined to provide a trading record online. I have shared a lot of the what, why and how of what I do online for years now and for FREE. Those folks that expect a daily trading record from me in addition, should just put me on ignore and for go all the other stuff I share as well.
