I just noticed that Case Insensitive is posting 17.512 times per day (by the CHE's calculation).  Mine is under 5 per day.

Does anyone post more often than CI?

yours eternally,
Juris

The only real question, here, is whether Pry will respond to this post before I get a chance to finish this quick two-liner.  Even with her temporary banishment, she is still tops by far.

Woo-hoo!  I finished it!  Now, what do I win for picking correctly?

Thanks much.  She has over 21 per day.  Can anyone top that?

If the standard is posts, it must be Prytania.  If the standard is exposure of one's personal life, it must be Prytania.  If the standard is enjoying the high and lows of forum life, it must be Prytana.

My goodness, that was an exceptionally good analysis of the forum.

Luckily I have 2 screens so I can watch my market charts AND post on CHE. I really need a third screen though.

Y'know, Prytania, when it gets to over 21 per day this thread almost belongs in the balancing work and life forum...

Oh, so *that's* how you do it.  I was wondering how you could day trade and make split second decisions while flipping from window to window.

One screen has my stock charts/order matrix/balances & P/L and one screen has the CHE on one tab and Yahoo Finance (RIMM board) on the other. Sometimes I have to use this screen to check the indices though--I really want another screen. Also I have a very high-powered PC.

In a fit of posting frenzy while waiting around for my flight to the US about a month ago I managed to get up over 22 ppd.  Most of these were within 2-3 ongoing "conversations" with one or two other posters.  I had been entirely unaware of this until VP pointed this out to me (us).  

Since that time I've made a concerted effort to cut down and am now down to 8 ppd and would like to get down to (and stay) under 5.

Personally, I think the mods should give me my own forum for all my pet threads. Prytania Forum or The Foricle Forum.

Oh, but Juris, I am in academia. I just teach in the evenings after the market closes.

Could you take a picture of your setup for us and post it on www.imageshack.us?  I'm curious to see what the desk of the great day-trader Prytania looks like!  I imagine coffee cups and paper everywhere.
