Interesting suggestion but then, diet plans are more permanent compared to stock holding I guess. Since a lot of posters seem to buy/sell within a short period of time.

But portfolio wise, maybe you can start a thread on how much in % terms they separate their holdings. Like for example; 15% plantation, 20% dividend, 50% cash, 10% OnG and the rest speculation. Doesn't matter how they split it or by what sectors, as each individual invests differently. I might separate in terms of big cap, small cap and dividends, where as some other might separate in terms of construction, plantation and property.

It doesn't show how much money but rather how they separate their money for their shareholding. Maybe this would represent the intention better without showing how rich/poor a poster is.

Looking at the forums, this trend is actually very real. While most people tend to observe the market for a good entry, there are those who would jump into something the moment they see some one else has it. This "herding" mentality is not new and in my opinion its how the market flows, but most books and guides tend to ask you to stand aside and watch where the 'herd' is going, to make your decision on the matter.

I'm not saying you base all your decisions on LYN which is of course absurd to suggest, but I won't be surprised if there are people here that do this specifically without any thought of their own. Which is why I think a portfolio advertisement while good for people to look at and scrutinize, is not healthy for "copycats" who tend to just jump in the bandwagon hoping for a free ride. Although some may think they deserve to lose their shirts if they copy someone without thought or reason, I try to convince myself they just need time to learn how to do it.

Which is why I suggested a more general approach to the idea, rather than a specific sort.
