As part of human psychology people will look out for themselves and their OWN basic needs, rare is the bird who truly is out there looking out for others interests, especially in the stock market. So you judge people by what they post, it generally reflects where they hope the stock will go, not an altruistic streak.
Positive posters want appreciation in value, negative posters either want the price lower to buy for greater profit or have some ability to short the stock and would benefit from it, neither is out to help out the masses.
I posted this on the NWOG board, seems appropriate here.
Good Luck All
