Great post deal. Curious that some longs are keeping track of "basher posts" vs. "pumper posts." They cite an overwhelming majority of negative posts as a sign that CSHD is a great stock.
That is the most ridiculous statement I believe I have read in quite some time. I almost LOL'd off of my chair when I saw that post this morning.
HOW STOCKS GO UP: In my experience, the most important thing to understand is that the stock market is very much about public opinion. Great fundamentals will not cause a stock to go up. People have to WANT TO BUY IT.
The market is very much like the advertising business. If there is a steakhouse in town, and most people say they have terrible food - no one will go there, even if they have the best steaks in the world.
So longs, please be careful here. Even if Rufus is sitting on a pile of bonds and contracts - it is the overwhelmingly negative opinion of CSHD that may prevent it from achieving its true value.
Sad, but true. But it makes finding a gainer a lot easier, knowing that it's mostly about public opinion. Fundamentals mean little when compared to huge "curb appeal."
