To be clear, I don't mind at all these creative attempts to "connect the dots", using the available public information to come up with openly speculative theories about what it all might mean. That's actually kind of fun and interesting. Nothing to base an investment decision on. But fun nonetheless.

My complaint is with those who come here clearing trying to create the impression they are "on the inside" with management and have access to info that the rest of us rabble don't have.

Maybe they do have some connections.
Maybe they don't.

In the former case, these poster-predictors are truly gullible if they believe everything they are told by an insider or someone who claims to be an insider. Many a company has gone bankrupt with those at the helm still believing the sun would come up tomorrow. So what makes the tips or info provided by an insider a reliable basis to invest? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Insiders are quite capable of being out of touch with reality. Insider are also capable of using outside contacts for manipulative purposes.

In the latter case, the poster-predictor is just a charlatan. Nothing more.

In our case, I think they are a bit of both.
