Potential Breakout Alerts!

[Teddy Bear]

Re: POTENTIAL BREAKOUT Alerts

Dear Joe Blow,
Can't you get rid of the few bad apples rather than chop the tree down? I know you have rules and regs to adhere to but it would be a shame to close down this thread which has given me a good education on reading charts plus of course an insight and assistance towards stocks I would otherwise not know about. Pls reconsider for those of us who use the site resposibly. Not that I make any postings of great value but am only a learner and have nothing of value to give back at this moment but plenty to learn.
Teddy Bear
PS what a day today.

Re: POTENTIAL BREAKOUT Alerts

I second Teddy bear's opinion.

This thread has given an opportunity to look at stocks that I would have missed out on.

Re: POTENTIAL BREAKOUT Alerts

If it does stay it will probably be a different thread with far more stringent posting criteria. Posts that dont meet the criteria will be removed with no warning or explanation.

Moderators are volunteers and as such time spent managing the forum is of paramount importance. Some areas are more problematic than others and this thread has become one of them.

Unfortunately, if you give people an opportunity to ramp rather than contribute meaningful content then some will. In order to weed out these individuals I will need to co-operation of not just the moderators but the whole ASF community.

Maintaining standards here at ASF continues the biggest challenge the moderators and I face on a daily basis.

Keep an eye on NGM resources. Has been pushing up over the past week.

Re: POTENTIAL BREAKOUT Alerts

Joe Blow,

Just delete messages you think are blatant rampings. But please PLEASE do not close this thread. Why not impose your new rules on this thread itself....

This has been one of the best threads on ASF & taking it off will be a loss to us newbies & even to hardcore investors as you cannot be allover the market all alone. You need some tips to investigate further.....

Thanks & Regards
Mr_Delta

Re: POTENTIAL BREAKOUT Alerts

The mods and I are still deciding what to do with this thread but in the meantime the following are now absolutely mandatory:

1) A chart. If there is no chart attached the post will be removed.
2) A few sentences explaining your analysis, including details of any relevant support and resistance points.

We are tired of the endless ramping that goes on in this thread. Unfortunately the only way to keep a lid on that is to make people contribute more content. The above requirements are now the absolute minimum.

Re: POTENTIAL BREAKOUT Alerts

Have to agree with the consensus here Joe. The first place i go to on this forum is the potential break outs.

It is a fantastic thread and yes i understand that ramping is a problem and all comments must be measured twice before applying any credence.

If this thread were to be removed my opinion is that all that would happen is the same rampers would relocate to the individual stock threads and do the same thing. Identify and remove the cause not the symptom as the sypmtom will only change the area it is affecting.

Delete the ramps with no questions asked and those that have a lesser understanding of the machinations at work will appreciate you and the moderators all the more Joe. Those that are ramping will know why and bite their tongues. Those that ramp and are ignorant of the rules will ask the question and learn.


Cheers

Joe a chart is a good idea imo, and maybe you could bring the 100 character min to this thread as well?
I would like to see this thread continue but fully understand why you and the mods are so frustrated with it.

AED once again looking strong and bumping up against resistance.

An off screen buyer took out about $750,000 worth by the looks. Long sideways consolidation.

Check out the AED thread for charts etc.

Up 7.5% at the moment.

Chops, yours is the last post I am going to let through without a chart because I just posted the new mandatory requirements and you may have missed them, and at least you bothered to contribute some meaningful content.

But from this point on, any post in this thread without a chart will be immediately removed.

What about making reference to it like I did? No point in doubling up...

Takes 10 seconds to attach a chart to a post. Also, the time frames from charts in the thread may not illustrate your point properly. They also may not be up to date.

Lets try and raise the bar here and let this thread stand on its own.

Re: POTENTIAL BREAKOUT Alerts

Yes, joe
please consider before closing this thread.
It has been a great time learning from here.

If we must meet the criteria , then we will go with it.
My suggestion:

1. Put your criteria in
2. See how it goes, if not according to what you want. We can go to something agreeable from that point.

again it is only suggestion

Re: POTENTIAL BREAKOUT Alerts

Firstly, I do not want to see anyone telling others to "get on" a stock. Nobody should be telling anyone else to buy or sell anything.

And nobody should be taking any notice either. We're not in kindergarten and you're not going to protect us from the rest of the world. If anyone reading this thread can't tell the difference between an interesting analysis of a stock chart and ramping of the type you're talking about, they shouldn't be investing at all. ... ever!

If "get on this stock" posts appear, sure, remove them, from whatever thread they may be in, but don't wreck the useful nature of the discussion along with it.

Re: POTENTIAL BREAKOUT Alerts

Dear administrators
After you revised the rule on this thread, I find there does not have a new single post appear.
I think the rule may be too strict to make member contribute their view on breakout.

This is too strict?

1) A chart. If there is no chart attached the post will be removed.
2) A few sentences explaining your analysis, including details of any relevant support and resistance points.
