The Position Makers

What We Do:

We are hard working individuals with full-time, non-market related jobs, coming together online to discuss the stock market. Our sources vary, our motivations vary, our conclusions are unique.

How PositionMakers.com started:

messels had been looking for friends who could or would discuss stock trades with him. for quite some time, it was only messels and chris using gmail and google documents to share and bounce ideas off, though unsuccessfully due to the time requirements detailing exactly when a trade was executed, etc. after a bit of thought, it occured to messels that he had a few more friends to add to the list. he invited citzenworld who invited mr. k and phlaphoy, among others. after shooting dozens of emails back and forth (which gmail is amazing at handling), mr. k made the suggestion that we try our hands at blogging. some of us are more prolific on the blog than others but our goal is the same as before: reach something of a consensus on where the market is going as well as create a forum for discussing our unique perspectives. We’d love to hear your perspective as well!
