Emotions and Agendas Emotions: Why on earth would anyone not invested in a stock get all emotional when it fluctuates, has a downward trend, shows a reversal etc etc. Think of the stocks you do not own but have on a watchlist or whatever. When they drop 2 or 3 or 60 pennies, do you rush to that BB and tell everyone what a loser they are? If you do, then you don't understand even the most basic principals and have no business saying anything. Or you are a screwball and think you are so slick you can flip sides and no one will know. You are not that slick.
Life: Do you go out at night or on the weekends? Would you take any advice from someone who never goes out or has other things going on in their life? On anything? Are Hoarders or Agoraphobics who you seek financial advice from? Bashers work around the clock, and are only here to create negative sentiment. They are not exposing any pumping. If an anonymous poster says now is a great time to buy and you buy based on that, then you shouldn't be handling your own investments period.
Numbers: About the on going number debate. Do you think a bunch of anonymous posters recycling the same info over and over do a more thorough due diligence than investment firms and hedge funds? That is people who have no skin in the game, do a better job than those who's basic qualifications are either an MBA or CFA? One's who's research their company will make a possible large financial investment on? Have you ever lost your boss $20 million bucks? Do you understand that pressure? Would you cross all t's and dot all i's?
Bashers: We want new ones. Better ones. You guys are not good. You're boring. We want the A-team please. Go Tell your OWNER.
GIDDYUP LONGS!
