Personally I've read just about every post I can, bashing, pumping, etc... I take it with an open minded perspective and of course basic reasoning (i.e. basic statements of "this is goign to the moon" or "this is a scam" I just ignore, this is a decision I make myself and others should too). If information sounds solid or worth looking into, I double check on it to verify myself and form my own opinion etc... I think if someone wants to buy or sell based on a pump or bash without checking into facts that support the pump or bash then maybe they shouldn't be here.
I'm new, this is my first investment, I don't want to lose my investment, but if I do I can still pay rent, make my car payment, etc... I have read bashes that have made me uncomfortable but then when I try and verify things like "Fraudulent financials" there's just no support and I ignore it. There is a lot more drama involved with investing than I had suspected, perhaps thats because of the pinksheets, I'm a big risk vs reward type person, it's exciting for me to take risks (not overboard of course) with the possibility of substantial rewards, and being a risk vs reward type person I would go broke if I didn't verify pumps and bashes. Speculation, well, to each their own.
One thing I learned day 1:
***don't buy or sell on my opinion :) cuz I'm a NEWB! ***
