YES....I agree SMOKIE. This morning was a wake up call. AND....it gave me a chance to get familiar with posting on the other site.....which is now actually normal to me. YES...my goal is the same.....keep in touch with this group.
just wanted to drop by to say that i give a big second to this as well. i’ve known rui (RG) here spanning back many many years. in fact, outside of gil (owner of this site) him and i are the two longest standing members currently at this community. i remember when rui first showed up at the old HSM (hotstockmarket) board. that was around the time of the GFC (great financial crisis). he is no doubt a valuable member of this community. very bright and knows his stuff and knows it well imo. really have enjoyed reading his input here since day 1 of him being at this community. many members have come and gone over the 20 years i’ve been at this place - but i will say i’m really glad rui has stuck around through all of the changes here. and there have been many since 2006! fun fact: did you guys know that this site back in 2006 was running on the vBulletin platform up until around 2010 when gil moved us into the huddler platform. this version of the community we have today has only been around since 2016 - interestingly enough with this year marking a decade from when we restarted on the xenforo platform and got the name change from hotstockmarket to stockaholics. it’s crazy to think it’s been 20 years now - and have seem members of this community pass away. bob korreck (remember him rui?) is one that come to mind…and also tiptoptrader. some good memories for sure. anyway, this posts getting a bit sidetracked (sorry) it’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride here at the community over the years that is for sure. glad to see this community is still around, sure it’s nothing even close to big community we had back in the heydays but to be perfectly honest with you all - i much prefer the community we have today over the community we had years ago. this group of posters is some of the most loyal and dedicated i have seen. not to mention some of the brightest minds on any message board that i have personally been apart of. truly do mean this from the heart. <3 cheers to all. and best wishes to each of you in life and in the markets.
