Welcome back @NewbieHK

We actually migrated to a new server environment a few months ago, but according to my analytics the speeds should be as good as they ever were (if not better).

But if others have noticed any speed issues well definitely take a closer look.

I haven't been abroad but here in Aus I have found that this site can be painfully slow when using other people's WiFi, such as when travelling, however it speeds up when I switch to my mobile phone (hotspotting my laptop to my mobile phone for internet access). I have also noticed that with Windows 11, there are periods where my browser (MS Edge Chromium edition) goes into "Efficiency" mode, according to the task manager app, and everything including the computer's ability to keep track of where my mouse is and when I am clicking on something appears to be hindered. Is it just this site that was slowing down @NewbieHK or everything?

Hi @Bear77 just the strawman site and actually today I was having loading issues even here in Aus. I primarily access the site on my iPhone.

@NewbieHK @Bear77 @Strawman I don't have any speed issues on any of my devices to date using my Android phone, Windows 11 laptop & PC.

Maybe my only issue is not being able to increase font size via pinching when on the strawman site on my phone, but that's more a reflection on my sight and not the webpage/app.

Hi @mikebrisy You may have inadvertantly set the display zoom for the site in Chrome (Chrome remembers your preference for zoom (font size) setting on a per site basis) - you can try setting it back to the default - to do this - when on the Strawman site (any page):

On Mac the key combination is Command-0 (thats a zero not the letter O) - presumably on windows it is something like CTRL-0

or in the Chrome menus under View choose "Actual Size"

Thanks @Remorhaz .... I'm feeling like an idiot as I do this all the time on other websites. Its just never happened to me unwittingly.

All sorted! Thanks.

Do we want sell side analyst price targets for each stock? I love the fact we get the wisdom of the Strawman crowd here, with valuations weighted by upvotes (if my understanding is correct) and not influenced by the sell side. I feel the more sell side valuations that enter Strawman, the less valuable member insights become. Maybe that's just me though.

We should have separate valuations, one for the members and one for the institutions and make it distinct with separate lines.

That way it is a good way of comparing how we are tracking versus what the institutions think. It is easy to remain thinking what is in strawman and ignore what is happening outside.

A good example is PME with lots of institutions thinking it is a buy up to $55 (and why I think it fails to remain below $40 which is what the majority of strawman thinks).

Yes I still think institution targets can't be trusted and they are probably trying to get some liquidity from us retail punters. But it is good to have a benchmark.

If that news stream comes as a feed like on my brokerage account, perhaps those targets can be scraped and fed into the system, and reevaulated automatically each time it is updated? I've tried looking at it before but haven't had time to focus on it.
