Matt, I imagine there are quite a few of us financial professionals on here (would be interesting to know how many  of us have CRD numbers, etc.).  I personally love hearing different viewpoints on markets and strategies. It's synergistic with my analysis and is the reason I've been with you for so many years.  It's a similar reason that I prefer Fast Money over Mad Money. Mad Money lacks the synergy of competing ideas/opinions (like you get with BPT during the day). In Fast Money you get a panel of people that very often disagree with each other. Whereas, Cramer doesn't have anyone punching back at him on Mad Money when he has a hair brained investment thesis (not a rare occurrence for him). 

    we do overall have rules

    we do overall have rules for the community that used to be listed on the old website in a 'Blog Rules' area, such as no strong political posts, no harassing others, and no advertising other websites, which we almost never enforce - but in the past I have had 3 - 5 people start their own website here, then use this place to get a bunch of subscribers to their site that I had to battle with.  I've also had other sites post here anonymously and post links to their site - it's generally why I don't like posting competing websites. 

    yes there's an amalgamation here: a lot of individual traders, and a lot of professionals such as brokers, RIA's, some hedge fund guys, working professionals, doctors, lawyers, folks from New Zealand and Aussi, England, Germany, Canada. retirees, some students in college etc, all walks of life

    Thank you Matt for Breakpoint

    CFP designation was accepted instead

    CFP designation was accepted instead of the 65 when I was forming my RIA....so I have had nothing but that all these years.
