Suggestion Box

[Joe Blow]

@Joe Blow what a great idea..

May I have another entry into the renaming of the "Dump it here" thread please..

# Trading - Help & hints

Trading help and hints sounds fine. So does Random thoughts on trading or perhaps even Inspirational trading thoughts and ideas. The perfect thread title will come to you if you let the possibilities roll around in your head long enough.

Great Idea @jbocker A place to drop random thoughts that don't need a thread title

Hmm...

1. A thread to drop trading idea into
2. A thread where you could drop trading topics that you personally find interesting (if it interests you - it will certainly interest others, that's a given)
3. A thread where you could drop hyperlinks to articles related to trading (article you align yourself with & endorse)
4. A thread where you'll feel safe asking questions related to trading without being ridiculed (there are no right or wrong questions)
5. A thread that's not a contest of ideas - but a thread where you could drop off an idea & feel comfortable in doing so
6. A thread where you could drop your trading mistakes so other may learn from them
7. A thread where you have something to say about trading but you don't want to start another thread.
8. etc, etc, etc,

@jbocker your idea has merit.

Lets recap
A place to drop random thoughts sounds inviting - a friendly thread title
I'm the first to agree "drop random thoughts here" is a much better & friendlier title than "DUMP random thoughts here" and a 1,000 times better than "Dump it here"

Maybe
We already have a similar thread along the lines of your idea (which is great by the way) maybe we rename the "Dump it here" and use the new thread title to capture your idea.

New Contest
Lets start a NEW contest to rename the "Dump it here" thread..

@tech/a it sounds too much like a book title & "self praise is no recommendation"

My Book - that's out of publication at the moment.


I have removed my name from the cover of the book for anonymity

What about "Skate's investment philosophy lounge"

or "ASF investment philosophy lounge" although that title seems somewhat familiar

One of my great flaws is my indecisiveness. I have a great deal of trouble making decisions. This is what has gotten me into hot water over the General Chat forum and with allowing political views that may have been a little too far from the mainstream. I hesitate, think about it, hesitate again, then think about it some more; often much later, sometimes weeks or months later. Then people sometimes get angry because it looks like I'm disinterested or don't care. I do, but I'm usually still thinking.

I tell you, it's a curse.

 

[SirRumpole]

The only cure for indecision is action, or not.

Let me think about that.

“A thread of knowledge.”

@tech/a there have been some great suggestions so far - I'm convinced if we get the title correct - members will be tempted to click to open & have a look.

Last 5 years
I've thought about the gems you have dropped over the last 5 years - I was going to hunt them down & re-post them.

On reflection
On reflection, members like posts to be current & on point and that is the very reason I reached out to.

Integrity
When you post members listen & so they should..

Lol … I actually like the word DUMP Skate … call me weird … Its percussive and adds some mystery

How about ….

"Trading tips - Dump them here at the Skate Park" ….

 

[Joe Blow]

There is a secret to thread titles. If we want the knowledge in the Dump it Here thread to be available to all people and not just ASF members then the thread title needs to contain keywords that people seeking out this information might type into Google.

As an example, this thread always gets a lot of traffic this time of year because the thread title is exactly what people type into Google after they wake up the morning following their work Christmas party. You can see the Google search results here and the thread here at ASF is in the #1 spot.

So when constructing thread titles, ask yourself what would people be typing into Google to find this information? The answer to that question should be your thread title.

Taking Joe Blows advice perhaps thread should be called Miranda Kerr topless

I'll let you delete that Joe.

[Darc Knight]

That's just given me an idea; do Google bots pick up signatures? If so, using a "most searched for phrase" in signatures should put ASF high on any search result. Let's try it.
