The smart people are not in this room, they have high paying jobs, live well and do not spend all their free time on an Internet dungeon full of insane maniacs and bitter right wing racists.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14896274 or some of us started businesses and have investments that are basically on auto pilot, and GLP is the best "accumulator" site out there
saves me a ton of time finding all the interesting, possibly market moving stories in one place
also ground research on trends
As OP said, there are some truly interesting, intelligent and thoughtful posters on here, some truly remarkable information which I come across, and not only from the USA but from all over the world.
That's something you don't find often these days
In my experience there are conspiracy sites (like rense) or spiritual sites (news for the soul) or market sites (zerohedge, UK telegraph etc)...but at GLP you find it all in one place
way cool...the trolls are free entertainment :)
and my background btw is private school, ivy college and 15 years as an analyst on wall street, but my dad was the most intelligent self-made man I have yet met...and he dropped out of high school in 8th grade
native born smarts and common sense are the ultimate resource
