RE: TCC "does anybody know him?" I know him, as I've been a member of TCC for going on 7 years.
He's a unique individual that has created an incredible trading site. You have to pay $20 per month to get into the live chat, receive the super fast custom news feed and see the members only posts.
I've never seen a better trader, chartist, and fundamental analyst, and I have looked around constantly since I started trading full time in 2001.
He posts his charts on the SPX, DOW and TSX a couple of times a week, to members, and includes a verbal description of how to play the market in terms of financial and geopolitical variables. His accuracy is uncanny and consistently so. He has not missed a major market shift for as long as I have been a member.
Sound too good to be true? If I was reading this, I'd say so, but his history is all there to look back on and it confirms what I have written tonight.
We had around 75 traders in the main live chat room today. All giving their thoughts, heads up, situations to avoid and stocks to scalp on the day. When the markets are booming we usually have well over 100 traders logged into the live chatrooms. There is simply no way to cover the markets on your own as well as they are covered by a ton of people working together.
Typical Stockhouse behavior on TCC is not tolerated, so you are not going to see any pumpers or bashers get very far before they are called out to validate their postings with fact or they will get removed from the site.
I like balance ie: if I buy a stock and publish the buy in the live chat, and someone else sees a problem with that stock, I want to hear about it, and often do. You learn to return the favor down the road.
It makes for a profitable ecosystem of traders.
