There are many stock specific boards here that have what is fondly referred to as "stuckholders" and some of these people will post anything just to entice new people into the stock to possibly also become "stuckholders".
An example is the CMKX board. This stock has been revoked but in it's heydey there were many posters claiming that it would go TO DA MOON. One particular poster racked up 100's of membermarks in a very short while because he allegedly was a lawyer and people just believed every word he said.
Why would you want other people to decide for you which posts should be endorsed?
I like to see both the good and the bad about any company that I may invest in or that I am already invested in.

Susie924: this has to be my last post as i want to save the rest of my posts for my board, but let me say this: your reference to "stuckholders" to me implies "longs." if i may, you also imply that shorts are doing better than longs, generally speaking, and you may be very much correct------these shorts are in no small part being helped by the short friendly format newly put to use by yahoo----let alone no moderator over there------all kinds of junk gets posted at yahoo. it would not surprise me if hedge funds and yahoo are good buds right about now since many investors as part of their dd look at the chatter on yahoo stock message boards. the paid bashers have the time to create id's and post under all of them creating the illusion that huge numbers of people dont like the long position in a stock. add the false recs that multiple short id's of both shorts and longs. no multiple id's here-------therefore recs, not the new star system at yahoo, would enable a true reflection of board sentiment toward a certain post saving people time while they judge the value of a certain poster/post. you say, "why would you want other people to decide for you which posts should be endorsed?" i want other opinions, without the trash of yahoo. kinda like voting in an election-----therefore, why not vote for posts/posters? you say: " i like to see both the good and the bad about any company that i may invest in or that i am already invested in." and how does anything i've suggested promote otherwise? you can read any post you want. now add the moderator you folks have over here and investorshub.com is a great success that may do better with a recommendation button. isnt the rec button an incredibly massive time saver as people dont have to post every single time just to let everyone know how they feel about a certain post/poster???????????????? do you work for the hedge funds?
