We’re Adding a Little Something to the Tabbed Blogger Staff

I’m not waiting for the redesign any longer. I just got off the phone with The Devil and will be launching his blog today. If you’ve been following his picks inside of The PPT, you know he’s been long BKS–a huge winner today.

I’m filled with surprises today, by the way. Truth be told, I haven’t been having much fun on the site in recent months. If I’m not having fun, you are certainly bored to death. The market’s been great–but as moribund and staid as checkered shorts on a golf course.

Back in the nascency of iBankCoin, there was another finance site that was just as popular, if not more. He had a great blogging presence and knew how to pick stocks as good as anyone I know. Throughout the history of iBankCoin, there have only been two sites that I tried to merge with, one being his, the other Zerohedge–before he became a blogging phenom.

This unnamed blogger that I am referring to was supposed to help me build The PPT. When I just starting building the formula for the algo, he offered advice on how to rank stocks according to its technicals, since that’s his speciality. Instead of merging with me, he went another route. As a result of going “all premium”, his blogging presence diminished–a damn shame.

The person I am referring to his Jef Kohler, The Option Addict. He will be joining the tabbed blogger ranks today, alongside “The Devil” (is it a coincidence? I think not!). What iBC needs is a little more coin, less conjecture. I want to get back to reading about actionable trading ideas on the main site. I miss it. Both of our premium services cater to trading all day; but it’s time to liven things up a bit here.

UPDATE: The Devil’s first post is up.

UPDATE II: OA post is up.

    Seems like you stopped having fun around the time you stopped cursing… coincidence?

    Excited to read the new blogs. Fantastic stuff!

        I would like to see more cursing, as well as an increase in the number of politically incorrect statements that, while not cursing per se, still offend marginalized groups in society. I welcome these changes to IBC.

      I also observed the decline in interest with decline in cursing.

    I can’t wait for the additions.

    …there is nothing wrong with a well placed curse word.

    Cousin Fly, This is great news.
    Eliminating cursing is still an honorable route. Alternative code words developed over time that confuse ‘johnny come lates’ are just as entertaining.

    Hear … Hear !!!

    Fly finally realized that interest has waned on the main site cause there is no stock ideas or discussion.

    I may be back as a regular reader again … About Time!!!

    Oh hell yea! Two remarkable additions to the iBC staff who I hope will stay on board for a very long time. Soon iBC will grow into a complete “one-stop stock shop”, as is it’s divine right.

    Perhaps Dasan’s sauntering fundy knowledge and Johnwelshtrades uncanny biotech sliceNdicing will even join the mighty House this year.
