Simon.when is the anniversary of banning Chartist?? If my memory serves me well he was kicked out March last year. I think some of fellows around here want to do an official mourning in respect of the all time great!

I suppose some of the long term investors were hit hard during the recession and traders also find it more difficult to trade under the conditions of high volatility hence the lower number of people around.

Hi Maddog,Simon and others, it's been a while since I last posted a comment on this forum, can't say I miss Chartist, while I thought he was intelligent I found him arrogant and lost interest in his comments. I, like many other did lose some cash but like any other tragedy one gets over it. I was always a warrant player and still am, made a nice profit on some anglo calls yesterday,sold and am standing in the que again to pick up some at a lower level and cash in some 3c later.

That can be or ORGanized! Banning u from entering any civilian area should have been done long time ago!! In this forum, we are not allowed to swear, I have seen stolen goods being traded which was also not allowed, but how do your racial comments pass the system very successfully each and every time...beats me!!

It's probably a good thing. Sort of a contrarian indicator, if you will. When the entire investment community starts "chatting" and "blogging," "tweeting" and "face-booking" its about time to leave.

I disagree, all of the above would be a indication of a bull market, (increased public awareness and particapation), the fact that forum chat on the decrease is not postive sign.....

I am inclined to agree that when too many plebs come back to the forum, it be about time to cash out.
