Should Mr. Market Ban IBD??????

[IIC]

IBD has been known to join forums in the past. I know, we caught them. They used an apparently fictitious name...Kelly Fenwick. When I called IBD and asked for Kelly I was told that no one by that name worked there...Geez, that was strange...Kelly used the williamoneil.com domain when they joined to access the forum. How do I know that? Simple...you just take the IP address and check it here...Second box down...nslookup at http://name.space.xs2.net/search/

Then you just block access from that domain...Of course it doesn't prevent anyone from joining from their home computer.

Why shouldn't we ban IBD? They banned Mr Market and myself from their board, didn't they?

little dogs maul IBD rats....

Hate to buck the trend..... but.... that just dosen't seem like Ernies style. $$$MR. Market$$$ ain't scared of IBD or their stinkn operatives.... If Ernie caught one here (red handed) he should simply (publicy) expose them as an IBD rat and let us "have at em".... throw the rats to the dogs.... See that little dog kill that IBD rat?.... TICK! ....LOL!!!!.... I vote NO.

I am EXTREMELY disappointed in you Lye...Ever heard of an "Eye 4 an Eye...Tooth 4 a Tooth"???

I'm gonna have to re-think my opinion of you....

Ever wonder WHY they would be conducting what I call "Forum Espionage"?

Heck...I've publically stated that they can use anything I post as long as they give me credit...You have no idea how many people they have gone after on legal grounds...Some deserve it...But IMO most don't...At least the one's I know...which is a lot of site owners. Deep pockets talk I guess.

There's nothing like a good old southern....never mind....I might get sued if I finish that statement.

Well...I think we should take IBD up on their offer to interview Bill O'Neil...Maybe Mr. M can conduct the interview??? If he is too shy...No problem...I'll do it....give me a Buzz Kathy.

This IBD site says how to set it up(at the bottom)...I'd love to go head to head...My only bigger dream is to get on MAD MONEY...I want to whack Jim over the head w/ a rolled up IBD...LOL

Doug, I don’t understand your point about banning IBD. What is the point of this? Is IBD a business that makes money off subscriptions? I think the main concern with them is retention and subscription increases. Now I have not a clue what they are all about. I did have the IBD newspaper a few years ago, but I did not think it was worth it. Some guy called my house a few months ago to get me back. He asked how my investing was going. I told him a little about what I’m doing and he said it sounds as if you’re doing well. I politely told him thanks but no thanks.

Now the very fact that this company called me a few years latter told me they might be hurting for subscriptions or keeping current subscribers.

Well...calling you a few years later...that's not bad business...Are they hurting for subscribers? I don't know...They used to put their circulation on the paper...Last I remember it was 310,000 before they took it off...Why did they take it off?...I don't know...But a reasonable person would think that they took it off because it was going down.

But don't take my word for it...Let's take a look at the most respected organization for independent audits...Oh, the circulation is 201,000 now

What happened?...Down over 33%??? why is that???...I don't know!

I would like to personally invite IBD to respond to anything I say...Why don't they???...I don't know...LOL

Doug,
Down 33%. That's a laggert not a leader. Not a company to be associated with. Not my words, Wm O'Neil's.

I am proud to count myself as a member in good standing of the 33% club. I like their charts but grew very weary of the forums, the "finding" of stocks after they had made their run and a general lofty view of their own CANSLIM method while viewing any other investment method with disdain. I cancelled my subscription.

Ban Ray Long

Just read POTW and found out that Ray and his DART system was the top stock picker in POTW for 2005. I think he should be banned. Using DARTs is not fair.

Look Doug, I read IBD and it has helped me as an investor.... Look at my 2005 POTW points finish for proof of how IBD can help to make you a better investor....LOL

Is he really throwing darts or is DARTS some type of high tech stock picking system. Maybe its an acronym for Diligent - And - Regression - Technical - System....how bout it Ray, you're a genious aren't you?

I subscribe too and I take RealTime DailyGraphs...But why do you think they used an apparently fake name to access one of my forums?

The sitemeter on my personal homepage has in fact revealed that Williamoneill.com has visted my site several times. However, I'm sure it was just the hot chick administrative assistants checking out my beach pics.
