Thanks very much Nigel for your kind words after my post about IERE.  What a pity there was not a single comment posted, other than Nigel’s.

I haven’t posted much in the last few years and I haven’t really been trading.  From time to time I have looked at the board though and really wondered if Fillyaboots should be re-named – Drillyamine. 

The day trade forum was last used about two and a half years ago.  There have been enormous day trading opportunities in the last few days, and very big profits to be made, in a number of property companies.  Nothing about them on FYB.  After the banks went through the floor there were some very big daily rises that were a great day trade opportunity.  Nothing about them on FYB.  Where are all the users who can sniff out a possible bargain?

The reason I used FYB was that I came to trust Nigel, Geoff, the late Ric Wilson, Wendy and others.  I even met Nigel at a Minmet shareholders meeting and that trust was cemented. 

Unlike III this was a properly regulated board and profanity, personal abuse or attacks were swiftly deleted.  I hope they still are, as they do not serve to help anyone’s argument in a discussion.  It was possible to hear sensible people politely airing differing views about every company under the sun.  I suspect it still is, but I for one would like to hear their views about companies other than those in natural resources.
