The board owners give us it free, but just look at the number of posts that go unanswered by the posters on here. It's high time we all put a little more effort in and helped our fellow posters and the Shares team and management who bankroll us.

I admit Im as bad as every one else, we need to post more and not take this freebie for granted, one that will go away if we do not give bigger contributions for sure , please help.

cheers GF.

Doug,

How's things? I had lunch with Andy G today . . .

Hi MM. Things are good. Second baby due next week so looking forward to a quiet Christmas.

How are you? Out in CA at the moment?

Doug

Hello Andy,

Yes, I remember, I think we ate together. I'm fine, hope you are too!

Golfinger, I must be one of the "silent majority" - I do a lot of reading and not too much posting. I must admit I really enjoyed reading your thread and found many useful tips. Shame you had to finish it. Any good ideas for the New Year?

Nope, back here in Blighty, worse luck, could have done with a warmer Xmas. Congrats on offspring #2. Enjoy!

Keep posting on MoneyAM please,been me hobbie for last two years so it's good to hear other views and predictions(often with a pinch of salt-lol).
Funny thing is though,in the first year made money but this year,now i know/think i know,a bit more about it i'm losing....sorry they are now'long term multicarriers or is that baggers'-lol

banjomick: Sorry to hear you've not done well this year. Where do you think you went wrong?

G2,
Trying to make money in a few weeks,not selling sooner and putting the money into something else when the companies were on the slide.Luckily i had corus earlier on this year which counteracted my other dubious buys-lol

The only bad decission was GON,been a realy big loss in percentage terms..not happy with their performance through 2004.grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr---lol

Just so you get some idea on who is looking, so far 3700 different people have opened this particular thread!!. Seems there are a lot of people in lurkerville:-)


mike

I'm a lurker not a writer!

Bullshare, now that is quite an amazing statistic! 3700 lookers. Lets be grateful that not all are posters.

3,700 lookers, only because the thread title sounds like the final cry before a suicide :-)

OPto

Agreed, but it would be nice if a few of them did. I wonder how many lookers and not posters we get in the tea rooms????? And what they make of it lol

Fundamentalist: GD's Room - strangely get less than this thread has had. We get about 8500 a day looking at the Investors Room each day. So only a tiny % actually post.

Fundy, if anyone calls in the tea rooms first they would probably log off and stop investing on the market. A lot of folks must think we are quite mad,I can't think why! lol

Bully

Interesting to know. I dare say for the majority one look at the tea room is enough - keeps the mad ones amongst us sane though!!!!

Out of interest if 8500 use the investors room how many use the traders room - or is that confidential?

Opto

posts crossed - fully agree

I dare say the conscience factor played a part in all the lurkers visiting this thread - a case of "have i got to start posting to keep this board going?"

Fundamentalist: Not quite as many. Although the boards might seem quiet we still have record sign ups to the Free and Paid for areas of our sites.
