RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Things that maI would be more inclined to say that bashing is intentional downtalking of a stock, with no merit to back, focusing on irrelevant factors, or for that matter any factors that are unfavourable, in a strong effort to downplay a stock.
I hardly call discussion of key, relevant factors bashing, despite their negative effect on share price. It's interesting how some of the longs on this board only want positive news, and push for all negative news to be censored. You play the stock market like a support group, with the mentality "don't worry, just keep holding hands and looking for the light".
The reality is, there are bull cycles, there are bear cycles, and there are drivers and key indicators to follow in between. Negligence is not an excuse for poor performance. Understanding drivers like the Baltic Index, how news items like the killing of Osama and its effect on oil prices, or what happens after a tragedy like the earthquake in Japan, tracking these trends, and analyzing them to make smart investment decisions will make you money.
In any case, we already know who the troublemakers are on this board. Same nonsense, different day of the year... the only difference is an exponentially growing fanbase of people who ignore them. I understand, you don't have the brainpower to think, analyze, and strategize, so you resort to talking $hit all day instead.
Do I really even need to defend myself? I sold at the top, now we're back near the bottom, and I've rebought. Now we have some interesting news coming. Take it like you want it, I'm not the one making the wave, the market makers are.
I am finished defending my standpoints, and would prefer to get back to thinking about the future, not crying about the past. This will be my last post in defense. I'm putting you all on ignore and focusing on productive input henceforth.
