Re: New member - Hello

Dumb question: What do the little gauges by the username mean? The ones that show a percentage?

thanks!

Re: New member - Hello

hi Cowensmi,

Welcome abroad, this is a great place and alot of smart people all learning from each other. I am just starting too. If i understand you right the gauge is the percentage of how much you have written to the board or posted messages i think.
cheers
J.

Smile Nmx?

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to investing and have become one of Phil's believers after attending a workshop and reading his book.

I've been watching the news on the stock NMX. I'm not invested in it and it doesn't meet any Rule #1 qualifications but I'm curious as to any thoughts others may have on it's potential.

Thanks!
JB
