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

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.

It has to be the beach pics. My took a look at your pics and told me that I need to start working out more often...

LOL Ernie...Heck, not only am I not the best trader here...I'm not even the wittiest trader...But I think I'm in the Top 5 of the wittiest and I'm in the Top 1500 of the best traders...Doug(IIC)

Geez...Pretty close race here...I'm a bit surprised. However, the question wasn't meant to mean you shouldn't use IBD products...It was just asking whether or not they should be allowed to pick our brains for free.

After all this legal stuff from the IBD lawyers being sent to some of my friends here and the numerous site owners I've known over the years...and others who I don't particularly like...I decided to go down to my private PO box today...which I have not checked in 3 months...to see if I got anything from http://www.silver-freedman.com/ ...The IBD attorney's...Nothing there...But they know my home address and phone number anyway.

I don't use any of their stuff to come up with my stuff that I post anyway...Don't need to...I agree...some have infringed trademarks...or copyrights...I never have...Don't need to...If I run a scan based on the info I have legit access to and some of the tix come up the same as they come up with...There is nothing wrong w/ that.

I've promised to keep my mouth shut on any individual cases...And I will keep my word...But I have heard many times over the years..."Why does IBD go after me...I actually give them free publicity"??? Well, I have no inside info...But my guess is that WON doesn't want your FREE publicity...but he can hire these lawyers who will try to play hardball with you...Even if you are right...You don't know what to say...Do you???

I feel bad for the people I know that try to make a buck offering what I consider to be good info that does not infringe...But I am not about to suggest that they handle it the same way I would....Doug

You know, it might have been the "wrestling" pics. Just a heads up for you ...

IBD went after Poorman recently, yet he continues to support them. He must be a very easy going guy.

If you'll keep refreshing the page, you'll get a different pic every time. Make sure your wif isn't watching first. Ernies pics may get her excited.

This is my take on Bruce...No facts...Just my opinion:

I've known Bruce for a few years...but only via the Net...I would love to meet him in person....He and I both know that we are not the same...But I certainly do respect his opinion and I believe he is very good for the type of investor he is.

This is from stuff he posted publically on another forum...so nothing confidential...In fact, I don't know him well enough for him to tell me anything confidential anyway...When IBD went after him he appeared distraught to me...He made a comment that he loved IBD...Well, my response was that IBD apparently does not love you.

He also mentioned that IBD wanted to charge him something like $1200yr to be able to post the "Smart Investor" article they published about him...I believe circa April '04. What a crock IMO...Who the h*ll do they think they are???

I went thru the Pre-interview for that Smart Investor feature in 6/02 or 6/03...Can't remember...Lucky I didn't make it to the second round...But they would never have published what I had to say anyway.

As far as Bruce and IBD...I feel bad for him...He does not take that type of abuse lightly IMO like I do...Personally, if I were him I'd make a final post at IBD Forums and tell them to Kiss my As*...But he is a lot nicer person than I am and I cannot imagine him doing that...Doug(IIC)

Doug,

I agree with you...there are a some people nicer than the rest of us
and Poorman's in one of them.


The internet is a wonderful thing but it can be a curse. You never
really know who any of us are ........IBD I hope you're paying attention!
Kick me off...ban me...LMAO....get real! Too many computers and
relatives available for that too work.......maybe you shouldn't be
so frightened of the good guys...

Man....I'm ticked.....can you tell?

There is a marketing rule: for every customer saying bad things,
you need 10 to say good things..... you're not doing well IBD!
Did you get that? I hope IBD is smarter than that...but in case
they're not....I'll make sure above marketing pricipal is put to
work.

I love a challenge!

Geez Shadow...You fit right in real fast here...Way to go...If you perused some of the other threads you may have seen that I was pretty good in track many years ago...I remember once when I lost a big race my Mom gave me a poster that said "Nice Guys Finish Last"...Well...it was not her intention...But I put it up in my bedroom...And I vowed to never be a nice guy again!!!...BUT...I was really a nice guy at heart...so it didn't work...But I really do not like people who think they are Holier Than Thou w/ Big Bux tryin' to push their weight around...Never Have...Never Will!!!

I was pretty good in metal shop....

[Shadow]

Doug,
I'll take that as a compliment and say thank you.
I used to run too but I think Ive gotten a little
rusty. Keep running!

Lye,
Good in metal shop?....Hmmm, this could be useful!

Sorry I sounded so ticked..... I'll try to pull my claws in
now and behave ( miracles do happen) .... although
I'm still ticked!

I would like to enter the Port of the year contest.
Roughly 75% will be PM's and 25% mine. This means
if I win we need to give the prize to a worthy cause
because I had help. So I don't offend him, I won't
divulge which picks are whose. Can I play under
these conditions?


Worthy cause ideas:
1. new Levi's for Lye
2. ear job for Webs
3. cheese for Mr. Market
