I second that one, Bill.

re: "... but it does imply that they have a right to say what they feel"

Oh, my goodness. Wasn't that the thrust of the most recent Supreme Court decision ... that you don't always have the "right" to say what you feel? In any case, that right does not extend to your postings on InvestorsHub.

IHub maintains stock discussion boards and you post on them at IHub's sufferance ... which is sometimes delegated to board moderators. As it happens, those favoring a stock are more apt to start up and moderate a stock board than are bashers. The trick, obviously, is to start a board for the stock you want to bash. However, to do that, you'll have to pick a stock that doesn't already have a board on iHub. The one-stock-one-board rule doesn't allow latecomers much control. (Another manifestation of the genius of our founder)

I suppose where I differ from you is that I think the term "stock discussion board" implies intelligent discussion. As far as I'm concerned, a pox on both pumpers and bashers. Neither add anything of value to iHub.

Oh, yes ... about bashers being "everywhere" great stocks are talked about ... the fact that stupid people are prevalent does not give them any inviolable rights nor does it give me any urge to emulate them.
