doggone smile iHub attempts to structure boards for conversations/discussions that allow all views. But the human factor & typical trading dynamic favors the positive discussion. IMO there are many groups represented on these boards-- organized or sympathetic. There are insiders & followers, promoters & followers, momentum traders & TA traders who all don't want to discuss the fundamental dynamics of a company that may represent a downward pressure on the stock price.

These elements want to either have a market or create a market & part of that dynamic calls for maintaining a positive outlook for current "investors" in addition to attracting new ones. Negative data runs counter to that so it shouldn't be surprising that you are swimming upstream when presenting it. In most cases you can enlighten current shareholders but they don't care & you're in direct competition for the "hearts & minds" of potential shareholders. Given that, presenting negative data on a single-stock board-- by human structure, not iHub structure -- creates a one-on-many phenomena. frown
