When developing my software models, I would frequently try to mimic certain traders. &amp;nbsp;This is when I became concerned about what and how information from financial bloggers was delivered to the public.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since the software has been paying the bills, I was hoping that I could build up enough momentum to have a self-sustaining discussion of trades. &amp;nbsp;I even started developing software for such a new web application. &amp;nbsp;However, despite all my tricks, the momentum really never developed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;However, another one of my pet projects did catch fire. &amp;nbsp;Thus, my attention needs to go there. &amp;nbsp;NxT isn't the first aborted project I've had. &amp;nbsp;It won't be the last.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I would love to just tell you my name, be friends with you on facebook, and all of us keep up with each other outside of NxT. &amp;nbsp;I enjoyed getting to know some of you guys and gals. However, there are psychopaths among the financial trolls out there--really, really crazy folks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've got backups of this web site and the skeleton of the web application on the storage servers. &amp;nbsp;I'll never say never...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:noxtrends@gmail.com"&gt;hepa&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9115653313475388359-4577414886473063798?l=noxtrends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9115653313475388359/posts/default/4577414886473063798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9115653313475388359/posts/default/4577414886473063798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://noxtrends.blogspot.com/2010/03/no-xtrends-no-more.html' title='No xTrends --&gt; No More...'/><author><name>ytrends</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
