facts vs opinions I'm not expecting any miracles as I know people get excited, but it would be nice if some posters could at least more often than never differentiate between fact and opinion. I constantly see posts that equate to: X is going to happen because Y. That is stated as if there is a causal relationship between the two when usually there is no such relationship. Sometimes the poster doesn't even include a Y. They just say that X is going to happen. As if it were a fact when it is nothing but pure conjecture. It is more productive to state your theories as what they are, opinions or beliefs, and ideally state what you think the chances are of your prediction coming to pass as well as the reason(s) for belief. When someone says "this stock is going to drop to X today" I don't listen at all and neither should you. When someone says "this stock is going to drop to X today because of Y" then I examine their Y and ascribe my own % chance to Y causing stock to drop. When someone says, "there is a 50% chance this stock drops to between X and Y within W days because of Z" and their Z holds some water, then I think that person might know what they are talking about. Sorry to be pedantic.
