    Anyone else noticed a large increase in trading activity in the forum, in the past week or so?

    Theories?

    I'm curious to know why there are more trades in the public forum than the 'registered members only' one

    People are selling in anticipation of the 'correction' or 'dip' that may or may not come?

    My theory on that particular tangent is that people are lazily checking on their smartphones etc. while mobile, to see what new stuff is on offer, so haven't bothered logging in.

    So to capture those people, you need to be posting in Public.

    EDIT: now that I think about it, this may have been one of GP's theories discussed over a beer. And it looks like I have now claimed it! :p

    A lack of recent threads on confiscation and trading privacy = more public trading threads.
