RE:RE:RE:RE:TAAT on Facebook. So bad. LOL. Well said Wannabee. There's good and bad in every group of people. I have a problem with painting an entire group of people with the same brush. It just seems...all too...well...'German' to me.

Germany is a different country and cannot be expected to be the same as CAD / US, if for no other reason than cultural differences. These boards are supposed to be about support, guidance, knowledge sharing and assistance in investing, in TAAT or otherwise. Some investors are brand new to the game and not yet mature enough or knowledable enough to understand the world of investing, but they are trying. There was a time when investors who appear to be knowledable today would have been considered as dumb as a stick before they learned about the world of investing. Lets not forget our roots.
And for the record, this board is no better than FB, and in some ways it is worse. The sludge that is often posted here is nothing short of disgraceful.
The German presence on FB may be a challenge to some, but so is the sludge flung about with all to frequent regularity here on SH. Does one or the other make the respective board bad? I don't think so. Just sayin'.
Cheers!
