Mostly because we don't have a day trading thread and forums are typically a bad platform for it.
There doesn't appear to be a whole lot of people on foh that participate in the markets either so it is what it is.
This thread has a lot of info though, for all spectrums, with a lot of good suggestions on books and other literature but you have to dig for it.
When it comes to investing you dont really have much to talk about, so it gets washed in the daily gossip.

Let's say long swing. Will not be a forever hold for me but I do want energy exposure in this environment. I had this one a few times in the 30s and I really kick myself for missing the big moves. I tend to avoid energy companies but MPC is cash rich and is buying back a lot of share. I will likely hold it as long as buybacks continue and we remain in an inflationary cycle.

it’s not a criticism, so if it came across that way that’s not how I meant it. I think the intelligent investor is just revealing and giving word to things that I wasn’t totally sure about, but sensed.
for example, there are prospectors who are basically gambling and then there are investors who are typically long holders shooting for the average.
because ultimately, it’s god-mode to try and beat the average. You may do it once, but the chances of you doing it again are so astronomically slim you’re kidding yourself to try and be that person. The average is the average.

It's also interesting how it talks about those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it, while also recognizing that knowing history doesn't give you the ability to predict the future, and that most of the people in the market are irrational anyways.
The way it paints a picture of markets almost reminds me of the chop in the ocean. It's easy to tell when a storm is coming, but it's nearly impossible to tell when, precisely, it will hit. I'll be interested to see where it goes. Buffet wrote the forward and he suggests that paying particular attention to chapters eight and twenty will pay dividends.
