**Monday Morning Rules of the Board.** 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), Matt (XMF BreakerForce), Benjamin (Locke), and imyoung, Cedric (CompoundingCed), will each assist Saul in running this board. And a new Assistant Manager, Chris (mess7777), will join us to help out. **Please make their job easier by obeying our basic rules:**

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

We **DO** discuss and analyze individual high-growth companies. (Usually that currently means 40% revenue growth or more, although there are a few rare exceptions of companies we grandfathered in because many of us had been invested in the company for a long time before revenue gradually tapered off).

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-liners 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”** (hit “Reply” button, then unclick _Post this Reply to the Board_, click _E-Mail This Reply to Author_) 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 on the right-hand panel of every page on this board (it is not visible in thread-mode).

**The DON’TS:**

**No** blabbing 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, [discussion.fool.com/portfolio-management-100153.aspx](http://discussion.fool.com/portfolio-management-100153.aspx)

**No** technical analysis

**No option trading** or other discussions of using extreme **leverage** , such as **margins**

**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** against posters with opposing opinions

**NO Politics !!!**

Thanks for your cooperation!

Saul

**Links to the Knowledgebase** for this board is in the Announcements panel that is on the right side of every page on this board. (It’s in three parts)
