The blog has been dead for a while, used to be much more
active.
Unfortunately I think a lot of people are just numb with the
market. Honestly we need another good bear market to get
people excited again, business is better in a bear market LOL.
I've found that people don't talk much about the market these
days when you go out to functions/parties - hell when I'm at an
event and someone I don't know asks me what I do and I mention the
market, in the old days people were like WOW did you have picks or
advice? Today many of they say "Wallstreet is a bunch of
crooks, I don't trust it". Seriously I think that's part of
the problem with lack of interest from the masses and they don't
trust it.
I think 2013 will be interesting, market probably due for a down
cycle, we're 3.5 years into this cyclical bull now

you, Steve and others here at breakpointtrades help us beat the
crooks! thanks for all of your charts....the mechanical systems are
great as well as they keep our human emotions in check. keep
up the fantastic work!!!
I really hate saying this because so many of the people here and
posting were nice and sweet and people you could completely imagine
having apart of your personal life. But MANY should not have
been managing their money IMO. Obviously born of the
frustration of the market downturn and lost decade+ so many people
said I can do better but I just don't think they had any clue what
they were getting into. So while posting is probably down
over the years I think the quality of the posts is dramatically up
and I say that not as an admin but a user.
It is nice to see more people on and engaging but if I had to
pick between the two scenarios, I will take what's here now any
day!
This is such a unique group with different ideas and objects of
focus that I often find myself forced to move outside my comfort
zone and review new trading ideas, platforms, analysis etc. that
has made me better. JMHO
