Serious question... (and I approach this knowing that chat rooms, forums, etc. provide a platform for (mostly) unregulated opinion... )
What are your opinions on the outcome of pumping or bashing on a forum like ihub? Does it play or role? Does it truly convince buying or selling or going long or short? Or is it more annoyance or ego stroking or playful theatre? For newer investors/traders, I can understand the willingness to be tipped or guided, but for the experienced, does ihub provide useful discourse? What about twitter?
Any comments/opinions/bashers/supporters welcome.
