complaints about you from other IBD Forum participants. As a result, we
have determined that your continued violations of our policies have
resulted in the termination of your IBD Forums account.

I was able to get one last post in over there. Go over and read my "obituary" and pay tribute!

Mr.Market,
I like your excessive self promotion and find your "offensive posts" very entertaining. Please do more of both.

Mr Market

I agree with billjoe. Large, liberal doses of self promotion and "offensive posts" are the engine that causes the machine to reel off profit after profit.
I decided to post a copy of my comment on the forum since you can no longer read it. See the following:

Mr Market:

What the small mind cannot defeat with logic must be hidden from view.

References to "complaints from others" who are conveniently unnamed is a typical tactic used when relying on truth is not considered an option.
I am saddened and am considering, after a similar treatment of Bruce Poormans, if my 8 year association with IBD should continue.
Fear of opposing views is not conducive to open discussions.

This is what I posted on the IBD board. For this, I will surely be banned myself................


I also enjoy Mr markets posts. Since joining Mr Markets forum I have learned much more than I ever would at IBD. There are quite a few great traders at Mr Markets forum, who talk about stocks openly, without the fear of getting banned or bashed.

Although I recently received a warning letter from IBD, I did not get banned. However, with this post, I will do my best get kicked off the IBD forum.

Are you ready for this IBD? This should get me banned. The truth hurts.

LOL..this is good. What's funny is I still have my browser open to IBD so I have not signed off yet. As a result, I'm still able to post there. Good IT department over there.

I'm glad my subscription is getting ready to run out. I'm tired of getting their worthless papers.

[skiracer]

Finally. Good ridance. Just a waste of your time and life which is such a valuable commodity.

[mooddude]

I understand both parties. If I was IBD I would kick you out, MM, due to not paying me for self-promotion And if I was MM I would promote my site and content free everywhere I could

Why Worry?

Who needs the CanSlim method anyway . I much prefer Mr Market's finest meats and cheeses picks....I have made more money with those stock selections!

[IIC]

Well...Ernie...I'm glad to see you "Finally" made the "A" Team...Took 'ya long enough

You are now a "Charter Member" of the "IIC GREAT TRADERS CLUB"...And it looks like Webs will soon join us too!!!...Although Webs...I must say that your post will probably not do it...Needs to be a little bit stronger...But I'm reasonably certain you'll get it right in '06.

Best to all...And here's to Mr. M

[IIC]

Oh...BTW...Watch out for IBD...I don't know if you can determine where the the members who join your forum come from...But on one Forum I run I can see the isp's...Sorta funny when the numbers convert to the WilliamOneil.com domain...I'm serious...But I have called them before and those people don't seem to exist...I don't know what anyone else calls it...But in my book I call it "Espionage"...Doug(IIC)

[Peter Hansen]

Pehaps an interesting concept?

It would be nice to see IBD (With all their knowledge and expertise) issue their stock picks the same time Mr Market reveals his. The results should then be tabulated and published on Mr. Markets website and in the IBD newspaper after a one year period. I do not think IBD would accept the challenge! Would Mr Market accept the challenge?......I bet all the world's finest meats and cheeses he would!

[mrmarket]

Any more activity on my obituary thread in the IBD forum? They came to work today and finally restricted my access.

[Gary611]

What is the name of that thread? Or did they delete the whole thread?

[billyjoe]

Holy crap,Mr.Market, you've been totally deleted back to Sept.2005. What ever happened to truth, justice, the American way, and free speech? IBD stands (or hides) behind all those beliefs if it can make them $$$, but throws them away when it interferes with their program. It is fitting that your last post to a foul mouthed lout was " I have some hot new picks for you"


Come to think of it, IBD is being consistent. Ever notice how fast their top 100 stocks disappear once they tank? It's as if they never were there. Gee, I wonder if those tankers are figured into their returns vs. S&P 500?
