Re: Animoto Beats Slide at Their Own Game

The problem is it auto-notifies random friends by declaring them as being "tagged' in the photo. I just made a video and I didn't tag any of my friends, yet the app sent out notifications to 10 random friends that they had been tagged by me.

If you look at the forum, you'll see user comments like:

"Exactly. I uncheck all but the required box and I was VERY confused when I saw that I has notified about 30 of my friends. VERY RUDE and I am NOT impressed."

So if they're beating Slide at any game, it's the SPAM game.

Nice to see a quality app made...not so nice to see it so spammy and auto-notifying all your friends that you don't even tag. If I wanted to sent notifications or invites I would.

Tim, love that you're public like this and so transparent. That's very rare to find. Don't want to be a hater, but here are my honest thoughts after reading everything on your site, and reading up on your programs and checking out your covestor, etc (i.e. I did my research on you)

One thing though, I automatically get a bad feeling about your site when I read that you made $4k trading last month and $40k off your blog/teaching last month. It's good that you're open about it and I guess it's good that you're on pace to make about $500k a year with little overhead, but the basic questions up like:

1) why is he giving away all this information?
2) why is he making most of his money from selling people on how to make money rather than by trading?
etc.

Good luck Tim

Tim, you are too fucking honest for this industry ;-)

And that's definitely your competitive edge -- your transparency is unrivaled

Thanks for the answers, it makes sense to me.

Can you please make your RSS feed back to normal? It's a pain in the ass to have to leave my RSS reader all the time just to read a full post and if I'm on my mobile device, I can't fuck around with having to go visit your site.

Just give us full feed RSS please!

thanks

I'm not hating at all... I just think you should make your posts as accessible as possible everywhere... that's why I'm asking for full rss feeds...

Re: Goldman Sachs Principal Transactions Update: Collapse In Program Trading Volume

I just want to make sure I understand what you keep writing about.

For those of us who aren't as well versed in what NYSE Program trading is or what role the computers you mentioned play in this trading program.... in "laymans" terms if you will.... is your conclusion that the Fed is artificially buying up S&P stock to artificially prop up the market?

What role does Goldman have in this?

I understand that he has written about this before. That's why I said "...you keep writing about..."

I'm just not as well versed in finance as you may be. So I'm trying to understand what this all means. More specifically.

1) What does the "ratio of principal to facilitation/agency" mean? Why is it significant?
2) Why is it significant that Goldman has been trading less and less each week? Shouldn't this mean they're not propping up the market as much each week?
3) "And as computers now simply issue forced stock recall orders to each other, painting the tape wet with manipulative intent and volume spikes into the last 20 minutes of trading every day, their human creators are left on the sidelines, trying to outshout each other as to the reason for why the market keeps rising while the economy keeps tumbling."

How is it possible for computers to just pump up the share prices? I don't get it.
