Did I mention anyone?
I just posted it for "educational & entertainment" purposes.
I suppose that, although frequently annoying, a good pessimist can be a healthy thing.
If everyone were focused on the positive aspects of a business then it's very possible that bad aspects will be missed. We're all here trying to make money. Nobody wants to put their money into something that they don't believe in.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of mud slingers on ihub. IMHO, many would stoop to spreading doubt through whatever method they think is appropriate. The truth is optional...
When I disagree I'll throw in my 2 cents. Sometimes it's more like 50 cents but whose counting.
It's all part of the game. The Bulls & the Bears are bound to disagree.
I've been spending more time on Stocktwits. Not every stock has a board but for the stocks I'm currently trading the boards are quite active.
Plus, there aren't any Post Nazis waiting to snip whatever it is they find to be "inappropriate". We're all adults. We shouldn't have a house mother trying to wash everyone's mouth with soap. Off topic and humorous posts are tolerated, to a point. They do, of course, draw the line at actual abuse.
So far, I don't think I've lost a single post. I've been down 10 in a day around here sometimes. Pretty frustrating...
Enron is a great example of healthy pessimism. I recently heard that short sellers played a part in exposing the truth about their "shenanigans".
