Here's a Congrats to the Old Pros

[mrmarket]

The following users have been members of this forum for over 5 years. Almost all of these people came over from the Yahoo forum. Boy we all made a TON of money in those days...I think my streak reached 200 one of those years back then.

Anyway, thanks for being with us all of these years. If you see your name on this list, post on this thread. If you recognize a name from the past and wonder where he's been, let's chat about it...this could be a fun thread for the old timers.

Whatever happened to the Photon? His avatar was a flying brain that was on fire.

[mrmarket]

Oh yea...Louetta always added some sizzle as well.

[MEA_1956]

I've not noticed a post from him lately, is he still around

[IIC]

I recognize a couple of names of people I still know who are not around here...But I imagine that most who disappered lost their shirt and gave up

[Rob]

I even predate the Yahoo forum days. I started posting on your Motley Fool message board. :eek:

The Photon, whom I call “The Flamin’ Brain,” still lurks, ’cause he responded to a PM I sent him here about a month ago.

[mrmarket]

I always thought Blitzy was kind of a hottie.

[jiesen]

I lost my shirt, but I never gave up! Boy, it's been 5 years already? My, how time flies...

$$Mr. Market$$ is by far the best part of these here internets. If it weren't for my buying all of his picks for the past 5 years, I'd probably have lost my pants in LJPC right along with the shirt!

[IIC]

I was in the Yahoo forum but I think I only made one or two posts...Then I received an invite here and rejoined the day after T-Giving 2003....Or maybe it was the day b4 T-Giving...Well, within a week of T-Giving 2003

[Peter Hansen]

Mr M quite a long list .....I wonder how many of those folks are still with us ...I am sure some are "Pushing Daises" !

[Websman]

I guess I'm too young and handsome to be a longtimer.....

you must have just missed the cut

[New-born baby]

you must have just missed the cut

Me too. I joined in April 2004. But I must say I've greatly enjoyed the ride here with MM. Thanks, "Big Guy," for a lot of great times, good fellowship, and a lot of great stock picks and write ups. This is the only place I hang out for the market.

As for the stragglers, they'll be back when the market heats up again. Some folk may have lost their shirt; others have lost their heads. And still others have the good sense to stand back out of the way when the walls of Wall Street come crashing down to the ground.

[Websman]

There's no doubt that this is my favorite stock board.

[Lyehopper]

Webs.... I came in Janurary of 2004 so I've been here more than five years.... and have contributed hundreds ....NO.... THOUSANDS! of (meaningful) posts.... and I've missed the cut too.

It must really be nice to be deemed "special" and receive honorable mention by the HUGE one himself.... sigh!..... well.... I gotta go now and polish the marble Mr. Market statue in the VTP board room, before tomorrow morning's meeting....

MM doesn't count those folk who can't stay on the bull.

Shucks...I love the whole herd...even the bears.

Lye, didn't you lose your handle at one point a couple years back, and have Karel reinstate you with your old name again, after you re-registered? That could explain why you were left off the list...

[Karel]

The board went online on September 26, 2003. I am not sure what list $$$Mr. Market$$$ has used, but I guess he still has the old member list from Yahoo, which was used for the initial invites.

Regards,

Karel

[billyjoe]

Karel,
Don't know how I found this forum. Never was on one before Mr.Mkt. Must have been dumb luck .

BillyJoe,
Likewise, I had never been on a forum previous to this one, either. This forum was the only good thing I got off of a six month subscription to IBD.

[billyjoe]

New-born,
How did IBD lead to Mr.Market? Was it through the IBD forums? Maybe that's what happened with me but who referred us or made mention of Mr.Market? I can't remember. But I can remember 50 years ago when an old farmer neighbor had a permanent tobaccy spit stain down the side of his '57 Dodge Coronet.

I found MM on the IBD when I read some of his comments on the forum, and Google searched and found him. I've never seen any tobacco spit dripping down the front of his shirt in any pictures he has posted. And since I've never met him personally, I didn't know that was how to find him. Down in KY, tobacco spit is fairly common. It must be fairly rare in New England.

[Lyehopper]

Nope Jiesen, that wasn't me, I've always been Lyehopper.... I'm sure that was "ThomRich" who lost his password and later came back as "Tfred".

Thom is still around and posts over at Spike's place (about 10,000 times per week) LOL! ... Thom's from Chicago and is a trained auto technician and body builder (his Avatar now is Godzilla's face).... He's a very smart and analytical guy but I tell him that he thinks WAY too much sometimes.

Thom has invented a trading indicator he calls "I-50" (Impulse 50%).... It seems to work too. The VTP is seriously considering allowing him entry into the inner circle....

[Websman]

Ah yes...IBD. That's how I found the Huge one! I have now built an altar in my home, with the likeness of Mr Market... It gives me inspiration and hope....that...maybe...one day..I can be as huge as Mr Market.

[mimo_100]

I posted here the other day but somehow it is missing!

I found the huge one at the fool.:)

[peanuts]

I was invited by the huge one to begin posting here after I made a few Yahoo! Message Board posts on FRGB pre-split, trading around 90 bucks... post split, it is now about $1... I think he made 15% on it. I've forgotten whether I gained or lost money from my trade in it.

That was back in early 2006. 3 years have flown by... anyone remember when?
