**I am posting this version of The Rules on alternate weeks to make it more interesting** …. imyoung created it, and I really like its light format.

**What We DO on Saul’s Board**

Bear (PaulWBryant), Austin (XMFALieberman), Matt (XMF BreakerForce), Benjamin (Locke), Lennie (ldigout) and imyoung, will each assist Saul in running this board. **Please make their job easier by obeying Saul’s basic rules:**

We are grateful the Motley Fool hosts this board and **we will do nothing to jeopardize this** by posting recent recommendations from the paid services.

We **DO** discuss and analyze individual growth stocks

We **DO** discuss our philosophy why we invest in them

We **DO** bring new companies to this board, elaborating what the company does, citing pertinent financial information, such as revenue growth, margins, total addressable market, competition, etc.

We **DO** discuss our month-end portfolios, and especially why we chose our stocks and why we made changes. (Just a list of stocks and positions with no discussion doesn’t hack it).

We **DO** ask ourselves if our post adds anything of value to the discussion. **One-line posts usually don’t add anything worthwhile**.

We **DO** check if someone has already started a thread (on just released earnings, for instance), before starting a new thread.

We **DO** disagree with posters in a courteous manner

We **DO** use “E-Mail This Reply to the Author” (unclick Post this Reply to the Board) for brief thank-yous or off-topic commentary or questions

We **DO** study “Saul’s Knowledgebase”, “How I Pick a Company to Invest In,” and “Why My Investing Criteria Have Changed,” and “Why It Really is Different” found to the right when in individual post-mode (it is not visible in thread-mode)

**The Don’ts:**

**No** blabbing recent investment information from paid TMF or other paid services

**No** cluttering up the board with one-line, meaningless posts

**No** basic investment questions

**No** portfolio management discussions. We put them on the Portfolio Management board [https://discussion.fool.com/portfolio-management-100153.aspx?mid…](https://discussion.fool.com/portfolio-management-100153.aspx?mid=34177446)

**No** technical analysis

**No** option trading

**No** value or turn-around investing

**No** income investing

**No** bond investing

**No** market-timing

**No** market predictions of Investor Business Daily or anyone else

**No** long lists of what stocks have done in the past week

**No** macroeconomics

**No** cannabis discussions

**No** Tesla posts (too contentious a subject)

**No** non-investing subjects

**No angry attacks,** either on board or off board, against posters with opposing opinions

**NO Politics !!!**

Thanks for your cooperation!

Saul
