digi, and in the absence of some sensibe degree of moderation from above how do you restrain racial abuse and plain ignorance. How do you restrain multiple nicks. How do you provide some guidance on the required format of the forum and general ethos to be observed by all. The forum is a mess, it lacks any structure. Is it technical or fundamental or a mix of both, I don't know. There are far more posts that lie somewhere inbetween and often these are rude and disrespectful of alternative methodologies and viewpoints. I gave up describing my own methodolgy a long time ago as it simply provoked contempt and misplaced mirth, yet it works for me personally and that is what should be respected.

Now that AL never visits the forum with his own fundamental observations it no longer provides any value for me personally. I don't need his technical opinions and if I did I know other tech platforms which would pale this one into insignificance. Where do we go from here ? the only service which would make sense to me is for AL to upgrade to a proper RT platform on protected membership site. I am certainly not planning to rejoin his subscriber service unless he upgrades the whole structure. One month trial was enough to be thoroughly irritated. I do believe he has something to offer on his s/t fundamental readings and his correlations expertise but he doesn't know how to implement an acceptable service to a busy trader.

strongly disagree Dave.. believe open forum is past present and future.. its basic premise of www and how it started but I guess we the users are still evolving..

markets quiet now.. so have a good weekend..

Dave.. lack of AL input is one thing but recent comments like that worry me more.. so we might see the end of this forum soon anyway..

"..posted all week...but never again.."

"..a lot of guys who werk in investment houses , they offer extra input.."

It could have been rescued a few months ago with the right approach from above but its gone beyond that now imo. An open forum is usually a disaster, this is no different. Anyway, have a good weekend ALL.

Nah, its full of aggression and competitive nonsence. The ethos always comes down from the top in these things I have found.

yes Dave.. right on the money except for one thing.. i think this forum is a lot of fun.. it's diverse.. with a little bit of peer review and sometimes useful trade discussions.. but maybe few people take themselves a bit too seriously here..:-)

@ Jacek, I don't much care if AL closes the forum. It has little if any real value. Bit of an identity crisis one might say. It is obvious that AL despises his own forum !!!! How much time does he spend nurturing and responding to his forum members ? instead he now uses twitter as a pure marketing tool with little if any useful commentary (His old buddy Michael Hewson provides more value now imo) and the IMT's are often not very timely.

I think AL should bite the bullet and launch a proper RT live feed service with or without a secure forum. The twitter method of communication is utterly unprofessional for paying subscibers. Its like a kiddy's addiction stream as compared to serious platforms for serious traders.

digi, I don't think you should talk about eur and cable in the same sentence, eur is way over valued against cable and at least we are trying to do something about our deficits with some degree of austerity and a plan to reduce size of govnmt, both central and local. We are trying to shake off the greed virus we caught from the US:-) This is all very different to the farce of the eurozone situation. We also have our own currency don't you know :-)

I am not saying that UK is not in deep deep shit but no way can it be compared to that of euroland.
