12/29 - TickerHound Tape
Posted by Wayne on December 29, 2007 – 4:50 amI think TickerHound members are getting smarter by the day…
I had a friend (big time trader at Goldman Sachs) call me up personally this week to tell me how impressed he was with the depth of both questions and answers that were on the site.
I told him that I wish I could take credit for it, but at the end of the day the credit should really be going to you and the other TickerHound’s out there.
In fact, I saw a number of new TickerHounds on the site that have really blown me away with how quickly they’ve gotten involved in the community and have shown a real passion for educating other investors. I’m sure these folks have plenty of other things to do with their day but their ability to set aside some time to help other investors is what this site is all about!
Having a passion for something is fun, but seeing that other people out there have the same passion is truly inspiring. So I think these people deserve an honorable mention for the week – I’ve also taken the liberty of including them in the Top TickerHounds list in our weekly newsletter. Congratulations guys!
Oldman – He’s answered over 15 questions from other TickerHounds and hasn’t asked a single one in return. Here’s a guy who’s all about educating and empowering other investors – truly impressive!
Dragonsbane – Again, another TickerHound who answers questions without expecting anything in return. His answers aren’t just accurate but extremely thoughtful as well – check out this question (he received the “Best Answer” for this one) where Dragonsbane talks about how to “play” Gold now that the equities markets have been taking it on the chin.

IFly – Here’s another rising star on TickerHound. I think last week’s Top TickerHound members would even agree especially since ChaosNantuko chose IFly’s answer as the “Best” for one of his most recent questions – check it out by clicking here.
