Level of participation in stock threads

[explod]

So I won't say that you both daily dine on a $hit sandwich

I have lived on them gg and assist others in that boat through charity work.

When you know and have lived on all sides of the coin you develop a keen social conscience. If of course you have been lucky enough to survive.

Some of the soft spoon fed would not have a clue.

Anyway, no feeling personally, have a good holiday.

I personally just think it's a phase in the market.

Once we get the taxi drivers back sprewking biorheniumese stocks again, all will be fine.

Just need to break through this little correction...

GG and yourself just for starters.

What absolute nonsense. Do yourself a favour and click on my nic, then on Find All Posts.
You will find I have, over many years, posted on a wide variety of topics, several stock threads included.

I think I called one of your most recent suggestions 'silly'.
Perhaps this unjustified and rather pathetic accusation is your attempt to redress the balance.

I usually try to refrain from caustic comments, but in this instance support gg's suggestion above to you.

I'm looking forward to whomever it was who suggested there were several people who only ever posted in 'Labor bashing threads' coming up with those names. I can only think of one such person.

I personally just think it's a phase in the market.

Nice and lively debate today.

Cheers to all for the efforts and probably the cleanout we all needed Joe.

 

[Julia]

Its hard to look objectively past ones own shackles of course.

Perhaps apply this comment to yourself also.

However the very nasty and most often unsubstantiated armchair criticism has put me right off the community discussion threads. But it does seem to align itself with the tactics of Abbot and the press in trying to unseat the minority Labour Government.

1. Consider the polls. Clearly the majority of the electorate are disgusted with the Labor government.
They also reflect the unhappiness with the leader of the Opposition.
Both these sentiments are portrayed on this forum. What the hell else would you expect?

2. People are fully entitled to express what they are unhappy about with any of the political parties. That hardly translates into their "trying to unseat the minority Labor government", attractive though such an aim might be.

As gg has suggested, put your disliked posters on ignore.

So_Cynical and explod, you can always put people on ignore if they get up your nose.

I find it distasteful that on a forum with such a great camaraderie as ASF that you guys single out others as not being politically correct according to your view. Julia is one of the most even and fair ladies I have ever met, she often gives me a fair ole serve.

Do I? Such would be very rare, gg. On the contrary, your sardonic and intelligent commentary is always welcome, not just by me. The number of responses to your thread announcing your imminent departure is testament to that.

Plod, have a look at the Fairfax thread where you'll see I've made a comment just yesterday which sees me well put in my place via disagreement from gg.

So I won't say that you both daily dine on a $hit sandwich and need to get a life and lighten up. It is a forum not the bloody High Court.

Ah, but such seems to be the norm from Greens devotees.

I read more posts than I post and learn so much from other's wisdom.

Me too.

With apologies for the thread being diverted to address Plod's silly and unfounded allegations.

Did you happen to see Jooles on Q & A last week and read the 90% of very positive feedback comments. Some "why does she not speak like this to the people more often?" Because the press and biased establishment only expose bits on bits to show tatters. The rules must follow the money.

Many of the polls, particularly Newspoll are selective and skewed. I worked in that field at one time and know some of the players in the industry. And the right wing Murdock media, phew. And one could go on.

And another look at my text will reveal that I do not see myself immune to subconscious bias either.

I'll refrain from pointing out that it was a Labor devotee who began the political diversion.
Just making the observation.
Still waiting for him to name his six or seven 'offenders'. Plod has had an abortive attempt.

I think there is some good buying at the moment (I still don't think the whole market is "cheap"), and it may only get better. I may be in the minority though, a depressed stock market usually gives up more opportunity than one that is sky-high. Discussing stocks with others, and trying to field your own views, whether you know nothing or something can be a great learning experience. It can also help re-inforce your own views when you feel as if the market is getting on top of you (which it is prone to in these tough times).

I really enjoy discussing specific stocks on here, so +1 to Joe on the others echoing his sentiment.

You are probably right there kennas I have noticed this forum seems to be busier on the risk on days.

As for the taxi drivers when they start to tip again and stocks are discussed at BBQ again I will be looking to take some profits. Until then I am in buy mode.

So_Cynical and explod, you can always put people on ignore if they get up your nose.

I have 2 people on ignore and have done so for close to a year, so can highly recommend the function...the ignore function is better looked at as a crap filter.

I find it distasteful that on a forum with such a great camaraderie as ASF that you guys single out others as not being politically correct according to your view. Julia is one of the most even and fair ladies I have ever met, she often gives me a fair ole serve.

I haven't singled out anyone and don't intend to...i know who the ASF right is and so does everyone else (apparently Julia also has no idea ), that's why i though it strange that Joe didn't know.

I will be away for 6 months just about in 15 days time, and I have always wanted to go a full year without an infraction, but you are really trying my patience with your whinging.

Have fun and enjoy your break...who's whinging, im just stating the obvious.

So I won't say that you both daily dine on a $hit sandwich and need to get a life and lighten up. It is a forum not the bloody High Court..

Yes its a forum, a stock market forum...and while some general political and issues based discussion is nice, the domination of the ASF right means that EVERY SINGLE THREAD OF A POLITICAL NATURE turns into a Labor bashing exercise....and its boring as bat **** listening to whiny Liberals that keep losing elections.

Usually, when I see those ubiquitious 3 letter ASX codes, I say so what.
But since reading this thread, I now say might be worth a squiz.
I probably won't buy but it may be entertaining or educational.

I'm off to research BBQ, ...!

:1zhelp: .....so, when you first came to the front door and read the words Aussie Stock Forums, wot were you thinking?

 

[robusta]

Hmmm can't find the chart for BBQ.

First time I bought "Stock Journal" ... you guessed it ... it was a livestock journal!

Wot was I thinking?

Because it's unlisted - often seen in company with XXX(X).

Hijack more like it.

Question for Joe.

Is it possible to analyze a posters contribution to the various threads, breaking it out into General Chat, Stock sectors etc?

Unfortunately no, that is not currently possible. However, it's an interesting idea and something I might look at down the track.

I'd just like to thank everyone who has lifted their efforts and output on individual stocks, the forum is a more interesting and dynamic place already. From a personal point of view it is fantastic a lot of lesser know companies are being discussed. Great effort peoples, keep up the good work.
