Thats why factchecking is absolutely vital in the otc. Every single statement made MUST BE VERIFIED. If they arent? The trader that fails to verify a claim must either dig in and do their dd or ignore the statement. This is where the failure to verify gets worse… by seeing other posters swearing the unverified claim is true. Well if so and so and so and so say its true? And there go. Another trader fleeced. The otc is not a place for laziness.
Absolutely…learning factual data is the best way to start. Don’t be fooled by baseless claims that are thrown out there merely to see if they’ll stick.
