I'm not trying to be rude by any means, just that you gotta open your eyes sometimes and notice features that are built in on the forums!

what's with the pic? I don't follow.

A website I'd recomend is:
http://canadianbusiness.com

there's forums there as well that encourage the direct discussion of specific stocks and strategies (I've never understood why RFD does not allow this).

Fear of pump and dump and other such scams leading people with little investment knowledge (say the OP) losing large sums of money.

if you look closely, there's one thing that's not blurred (hint: it's near the top right of the picture ;))

I was joking. I could clearly see what you were ephasizing.

HOWEVER, for effect, you clearly shoulda desaturated the color (grayscale) the remaining of the picture!

Hey buddy, give the guy a breka, he's just asking for advice man!

Mork and Gemini actually helped out, while all you did was wine and do nothing.

it doesn't hurt to REPEAT info, who cares if someone else has allready posted something about it!?

It pisses me off when you have annoying people telling you "oh its somewhere else", well sometimes people don't want to seep throughs hundreds of pages to find some info! So they post and IF anyone knows they say "hey go here, save time".

dasaylay's post was actually more useful than yours. they gave the op a resource for finding out answers to his questions. if you have anything to offer the op, then please share.

i've answered countless questions in the finance forum, and for general questions like these i don't bother as they've already been answered. no need to repeat myself.

Its good that you are helping out.

Hey

Don't repeat yourself, its called copy paste proper link to help the person! Or copy paste URL! You allready know, so sharing the knowledge isn't too hard and saves people tonnes of time and energy.

People on here are here to HELP each other, when someone asks something that was asked 9 months ago a simple copy paste in the right direction isn't too much to ask.

maybe i should help dress them too, or chew their food for them, or maybe read the book and summarize it for them. if the info is already here, why should i be the one spoonfeeding?
