To be fair, he was posting off and on earlier this year. But people would give flack saying he was advertising for his service and just in general critiquing what he was saying, so why would he stick around? Even when he would still drop in tips or call outs for the board

wwr didn't get to the "dip" until a few months after everyone put in their life savings.


eta I guess that wasn't a tip that was charged for, so you get what you pay for maybe?

Meh. He was here trying to defend himself when people were upset about wwr, and then he was pushing his picks.

Yeah, the WWR he was banging the table on didn't just cost folks money….it cost folks a ton of money due to his conviction. I'm still holding. In fairness he put us on several good ones before that. Which is why so many went in hard on WWR.

This. And quite frankly, OA made lots of people here a ton of money by educating them on how the market is played. He did this for several years asking only for donations to different charities. It wasn't until the thread took off that he decided to make it a business. And good for him too. We should celebrate Aggie successes. Don't be the ******** that tears down another Ag simply because they don't serve you.

Agreed, I don't know him personally, but he seems like a good enough fellow. I was in the paid service for a couple of months and tried to follow daily. I learned a lot of overall tips and general understanding of the market from him. The plays that I followed along with usually didn't work out, but I think that had more to do with the general direction of the market we were in.

I didn't have the time to follow along every day and should have just sat on my hands since I was (and still am) very much in a learning stage.

I might try the service again some day and don't hold any sort of grudge for the plays not working out better for me.

I really appreciate when he pops on here to chime in on things. Disappointed that he hasn't done that in a while but understand why as well since others here seem to be a little hostile.

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend and BTHOND later tonight! I've got a brisket on now and about to add several racks of ribs

The hard thing to follow is what specific charts (timeframe) and indicators (specific settings) are being used in evaluating/researching stocks.

That's what I could never understand anyway. Some of the terminology was backward to me as well.

I always wanted to know what each trader (who shared tips) specifically looked at when saying there is a head and shoulders, flag, etc forming. (Monthly, weekly, daily, etc?). The exact indicator used as well as setting (RSI?, Volume?, etc.)

Those where frustrations of mine that were nobody's fault but my own for taking and running with them and having so much ignorance on my part.

All this to say I could never clearly follow how these trades are executed correctly from research, identifying a trade, duration of the trade, etc)

Ultimately the responsibility is each of ours on what trades were made. My frustration early on was because of following him on a couple that he had extreme conviction with and said to set them and forget in IRA. A couple of those were my major losses. Listening to the folks that have remained here has been much more positive for me.

OA did a lot of teaching in the early years of the thread. That info is all still there. It's tough to go page by page looking for lessons, but it's all there.

I personally try to show exactly what I'm seeing and break it down as granular as possible. I'll admit, it's time consuming and redundant. Even more so when you understand that someone might be reading it for the first time. But if you're trying to help on a thread like, just saying "I'm buying here because it feels right" is not enough in my eyes. There's a ton of lurkers and constantly new people. I feel a duty to give a thesis when I advise something. But I don't fault those who don't. It's not easy. Personally, explaining things in writings reinforces my own knowledge and understanding, so I legitimately enjoy it.

But I agree that there's no reason to bash anyone here, especially someone who is the reason this thread exists and has done so much for many here and is a really good Ag. Let's be better. Be appreciative of the free knowledge you get. Feel free to ask questions. Be critical if warranted, but not insulting. We're all on the same team.

I'm good with it….and said he put us on some really good ones. I appreciated him being here and was disappointed to see him turn it into a business and leave (although I can't blame him). All good.

Annualized increase in NW for 2024 so far is 40%, including all income and profits.

Actual change since December 2023 is +30%. (And that's with SMCI wiping out around $9k of that in the last week.)

Pretty damn good year thus far. Don't know if we can keep up this frantic pace, but even if we finish sideways from here wouldn't be the worst thing.

Well, that 3 handle is probably going to materialize now and give some people a chance to bring their average cost per share down. Still a good long play, but damn...

Heard some news the other day, that SMCI is tied in with Coreweave. There's some shady, round-tripping cash scheme with them and Nvidia that presents some red flags. It's not illegal...just shady and probably should be illegal. Not sure if SMCI is in that boat, but if they are, this entire market could go way south in a hurry.

Septembers in election years. Not many in recent history that were bullish.

Eh, class action lawsuits started being reported last week, and didn't really affect the stock price any more than the company's own incompetence did.

Yep. There's a class action solicitation now for any stock that drops double digit percentage points in a day. Getting tired of seeing them. And I have lost a crap load of money so far on SMCI.

"Suffered losses".

That is the criteria for joining the suit.

Does that mean you bought high and sold low?

Or does that include paper losses? I'm still holding and My avg cost is around $679/share
