in Twitter Follwing SPAM…An explanation on Howard Lindzon
I agree with you in a way, I don't automatically follow people who follow me. Why? Because I have no idea how people find me or who they are. If I've encountered them in the past through some means or another I will follow them if I'm interested in what they have to say. Unfortunately, i think many people think having hordes of followers somehow makes you successful. It's like anything on the web, quality over quantity always wins.

in Why The Transparent Investment Management (TIM) Portfolio Has Failed on Investing Adventures
I don't think your research is entirely correct here. Take COIN for example. Timothy shorted the stock twice in one day and couldn't short the following day because there were no shares to borrow. That doesn't violate the pattern day trading rule.

He also discloses when he owns and doesn't own a stock, as all bloggers/journalists should when writing about stocks.

He's also telling us when he loses money, not just when he makes a trade. I think you are missing the point of his posts here. I also see no reason why he would be allowed to skirt the rules where others cannot, he's just a trader like the rest of us.

One last thing. His portfolio when he started his hedge fund was worth over $2 million and it took him 4 years to get there.

in S&P Deterioration on Investing Adventures
classic reverse head and shoulders action. I would be all in cash were I not fully vested. However, I did get some good action on AAPL, INSP and BFLY today.

True, Fundamentals don't tell the whole story which is why I always look at as much about the company as I can. Sector growth is important as is the time of year you are buying and selling. Selling is usually easier when emotions run hot because you can catch a move upward and unload. Buying weakness and selling into strength is a good philosophy. You've probably heard Jim Cramer talk about this. I talk alot about it on my blog.

I don't let emotions influence my trading. I buy and sell on predetermined prices so that my emotions are taken completely out of the equation. When a stock I like drops in price it just means I can buy more of it cheaper.
