I just don't understand how some people (ahem) can make, in all seriousness, '60$ by Friday' predictions and be taken seriously by ANYONE.
Even though I have devoted a significant amount of capital (and nerves) in this extremely questionable play, AND I am on the crappy end of the SP average spectrum due to a few setbacks with funding/account issues... no one else would love this stock to go "to da moon" believe me .. I still cannot help but balk at those kind of absolutely ridiculous predictions.
In all honesty, while I think IHUB forums and the like have SOME bearing on the stock movement, I think it is a small %... and I would *NEVER* want the karma on my shoulders as a pumper or basher, basically waging psychological warfare on green (newbie) traders and while not DIRECTLY affecting the SP much [in the grand scheme of things] ... DIRECTLY + negatively manipulating a fellow trader's morale, decision making process etc.
Whichever way this goes tomorrow, I am going to start keeping a LIST of people .. on both ends of the spectrum.
Look, we all get excited but.. Good DDers, honest, level headed folk who contributed factual information and/or intelligent predictions/advice will go to the top of my list and will earn my respect, and I will heed their calls with much more weight.
Conversely, if the stock tanks, of course the voices of reason who warned so will be noted.
At the bottom, perhaps on a separate SHITLIST, I will put every pumping/bashing son of a bitch that simply added to the noise and aimed to befuddle and exploit honest traders out there...
I realize it's to be expected, and it is a learning process for me.
Experience IS the greatest teacher, albeit the most expensive one.
I used to be part of various other forums, and there are always Trolls about.. it's just here, their agendas have real life implications on your bottom line ...
Heh, I said "honest trader". It sound almost like a paradoxical statement. Like "fighting for peace."
Was it always thus or ... is it the unfortunate reality of our day?
Good luck to everyone.
