With manipulated pennies, the only one that has an information edge on short term trades is someone that colludes with the manipulators.
The only reason I have to participate on IHUB is to get information for investments. There is no "edge" to be gained, just help from reliable folks in researching a company for its long term worth. It takes a lot of reading to find those reliable folks.
I agree with you in that we have to make our own decisions, but this board is rife with people that are trying to miss-inform, not inform.
The boards are designed to help you gain the information edge you need to help you make your own decisions.
