RE:RE:RE:RE:Dividend DayIt all depends on a person's goals. Many who write on these boards are 'day traders', people aiming to pick up a few % on short term changes in stock price. For those people, hyping the stock is to their benefit.
There are also those whose sole goal is long term dividend payout, who are seeking the highest yields for their longer term investment. Those people prefer to keep the stock price down so they can buy more at the lowest price. And of course every colour in between the two opposites.
Whatever floats your boat
