ABC general chat forum

[rumpole]

There's nothing wrong with having a "general chat" section on a forum it helps build a community but having people come to the site for no other reason than to chat about the ABC sort of defeats the purpose, IMO.

Talking about ABC shows is an excuse really. The discussions are generally wide ranging, although I suggest you have a separate place for the Dr Whovians, otherwise they will clog the place up.

Monty, just taking the p*ss.

The more the merrier!

PS. My posts are never inane.

Perhaps the Dr Whovians would be happier at one of the Dr Who forums.

I would just urge everyone to keep talking stocks and investment as well. I have absolutely no objection to an active General Chat forum. It has always been one of ASF's strong points IMO and even I enjoy perusing many of the threads. I would just hate to see the stock discussion suffer as a result of the General Chat forum being too active.

So by all means make use of the General Chat forum to discuss whatever topics you like, but don't forget that our primary purpose here is to discuss stocks and investment.

And that's all I'm trying to say.

dutchie, I would fight anyone who would argue in the negative that Monty would not say that your posts are never inane, ever.

The ABC folk would benefit from an acquaintance with a robust forum dedicated to Australian Stocks with a small but active General Thread.

Who is this Dr.Who fellow?

Any relation to 42.

I'm sure it will flow over to stock talk as well, as I said they're adults not kids over there , have to now wait and see if they take advantage of this.

Now that's what I call double-dutch

I think everyone needs to play a part to keep the stock/investment discussion active as well.

Most investors/traders have a watchlist with stocks that they keep an eye on. If there is an interesting development with one of them, or an announcement of note, then post in the thread on that stock and let others know about it.

ASF does have an active general Chat forum but there is no reason why the stock forums should be less active. I would urge everyone to keep others updated on the stocks they are following.

 

[Dressdown]

The general chat forum is already packed with non stock related threads, you don't have to visit them you know.

Hi Mr Burns, thanks for pointing us in this direction, it looks like an interesting site.

Hello good people,
I must confess to knowing very little about the stock market - and this seems like an interesting place to learn.
Many thanks to Mr Burns for directing me to this site.
Does anyone know anything about mining stock, specifically Min Metals Group (MMG)? My interest is not out of any desire to dabble in the stock market but, as all things are relative, a healthy mining company is able to regard our community with a larger degree of benevolence.

I think you may have misdirected Austral, Byrnsie.

My old mate, Zhou, would not be impressed.

Austral, try Google first and then post on the Beginners thread.
The Beginners thread is found on the main page or by clicking on the arrow beside
"Forum Jump" and then clicking " Beginners Thread "

Byrnsie, teach these ABC viewers how to fish, don't feed them jalapinos mate.

Otherwise this ABC thread will go to putty.

I myself now watch Sky or SBS, and listen to 4TO FM.

That wouldn't surprise me one bit, I prefer to leave the introductory niceties to your good self or anyone else who knows their way round here, despite my large number of posts I have been away for a couple of years and have lost touch.

Over to you gg I couldn't think of a nicer host for our new guests.

I can post a jpg of Emma Alberici in soft pastels if anyone is interested.

Perhaps it is perhaps it isn't. I don't come here to discuss politics or whether Emma Alberici looks better dressed in bold colours or soft pastels. There's nothing particularly wrong with wanting to chat about those things, I just think there's a better place to do it than a stock forum.

I think Emma Alberici looks great in any colour... my favourite journalist.
(After what's her name from Naked News )

Other than that, I agree but let's give these new guys some time and see how they behave first. (Also more potential pump and dump cannon fodder )

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

OK I had so many PM's requesting it, here is.

So this is to welcome all the refugees from a Cruel ABC to Aussiestockforums.

I am in disguise holding the pole.

I'll borrow this, with permission, to post over at the ABC......

All left leaning, tree hugging, whale loving Captain Watson groupies from the ABC are most welcome, you will raise the standard beyond slogans in any of the general chat threads and if you are looking for investment / trading direction this is the place to be.

This could change your view entirely on where your wealth should be.

There is also a tipping competition each month, where you can pick a stock, if you win you get a leaning, a tree, a whale, or a night with Captain Watson.

Second prize is two nights with Captain Watson or three nights with a Japanese Whaler.

It is also a very very good forum with much sensible advice on increasing your material wealth, as my good friend iFocus, has mentioned.

You can keep us posted on the ABC as well. What night does Aunty Jack show on now?
