Why Have Financial Message Boards? Message boards such as Yahoo, Raging Bull, and Silicon Investor give investors the opportunity to share their views and comments as they may relate to specific stocks or general investing. But they also allow disgruntled former employees, competitors, stock manipulators and others to post their negative messages. In many cases these negative posters have "shorted" a stock and want to do all that they can to see the stock price move downward. Negative posters usually don’t work alone. They team up with other “bashers” and gang attack a company.
