For years I've been here and on SI, posting under 1 alias without exception. For years I spent my days here reading posts on the markets, stocks, stocks I'm long, stocks I'm short and stock players I know, yet I bit my tongue. Self-control got the better of me because I knew if I was to speak on stocks I would immediately be accused of hyping or bashing.
The reason for the change is now I must take this place totally serious. My previous posts were always between trades, phone calls, typing fast, pressing “submit” and never proofreading. I wasn’t looking for or soliciting business here and it was obvious in the lack of time I would put into my postings.
I'll let my NASD record and my years of posting on irrelevant subjects instead of stocks, while a licensed broker, be a testament to my credibility. I'll no longer be using the other account.
