doggone :-) iHub attempts to structure boards for conversations/discussions that allow all views. But the human factor & typical trading dynamic favors the positive discussion. IMO there are many groups represented on these boards-- organized or sympathetic. There are insiders & followers, promoters & followers, momentum traders & TA traders who all don't want to discuss the fundamental dynamics of a company that may represent a downward pressure on the stock price.

These elements want to either have a market or create a market & part of that dynamic calls for maintaining a positive outlook for current "investors" in addition to attracting new ones. Negative data runs counter to that so it shouldn't be surprising that you are swimming upstream when presenting it. In most cases you can enlighten current shareholders but they don't care & you're in direct competition for the "hearts & minds" of potential shareholders. Given that, presenting negative data on a single-stock board-- by human structure, not iHub structure -- creates a one-on-many phenomena. :-(

Doggone, to maybe help you understand…

IHub was created to have a place for investors to come and discuss the good and bad about a stock. The primary intent is to discuss stocks that primarily present an opportunity for being a sound investment. That’s why the name ”Investors Hub” is used. When certain facts about a stock have not been publicly or officially released, you share what you think is sound reasoning that support why you decided to take the risk. This is all part of speculation and applies to all stocks within the IHub community where certain facts have not been released as of yet. This is “one” basic reason why you decide to buy a stock or not.

When something that is considered to be bad about a stock is delivered to the forum, it is expected for the delivery to be constructive in nature and not delivered in a form that will antagonize others and play on the emotions of others. If your thought is negative, but not back with facts, it should be heard, but should not be presented over and over again to where the repetition is creating a stressful environment. This is where it now becomes disrespectful and personally I would question a person’s heart condition and their intentions when doing such in a very apparent manner.

I am confident that IHub was not created to have a stressful environment for people to frequently visit. It also doesn’t help when one goes back to research all of a person’s history of posts and all of them are negative in nature. Understand too that people come to IHub with primary intentions to make money. When people have money involved with a particular stock, they seem to take it personal when spoken negative about it especially when the negative is unconfirmed and brings unnecessary stress. Stress kills as it is one of the leading causes of death in the world.

Again, the IHub community was not created so that people could have a place to frequently visit to be stressed out over information that is unconfirmed and/or belabored to the point to where it is causing a stressful environment. I am sure that such is not the intent of what IHub wants. Positive speculation and negative speculation are two different animals and should be treated differently. IHub would not have ever made it to where it’s at now if its primary intentions were to create an environment for people to come to be stressed out.

If such was the case, then I am sure that IHub would potentially or eventually shut down or lose many members. I am sure that the IHub Admins know this and do not want unnecessary or unconfirmed stressful environments created or supported only by ones emotions with unconfirmed negative beliefs. Negative thoughts should always be heard, but not to where it’s redundant and unconfirmed causing stress. IHub is too great and wonderful of an environment for them to allow those with such negative intentions to transform it into such.

When a stock presents a very solid risk in my opinion, take some simple steps. Do your due diligence (DD) and make the decision to take the risk or not from your own DD. Place the blame or success on yourself for the outcome and not anyone else. To hang around for the reasons I have been ”primarily” referring to within this post are for the wrong reasons. Remember, stress kills. I recommend one moving forward if a particular stock is not for them. To hang around to simply antagonize people should not be allowed after you have clearly made your point. Just because a stock does not release info as often or when one likes does not confirm that the situation has gone bad either as I have seen used as reasons for assuming the worse.

Also, if your intent is to save investors from a stock that you believe to be bad, understand that ”you” can’t save the market. To better explain what I mean, there are many more stocks on the Dow, NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc. that are dropping within the market that have dollar volume with millions of dollars loss by people daily. Add up the daily dollar volume for your average penny stock. If your intentions are really sincere to ”save” people, then I think more people that are losing more money in those major markets could probably use your help much more before us here within the penny stock world.

After one makes their negative point constructively, it should remain. However, if it appears that one is belaboring their point to where it is creating a negative/stressful environment, then those redundant posts and any related should be removed. To add, asking “similar” questions over and over again to where it appears that one is belaboring their point to where it is creating a negative/stressful environment, those posts and any related should be removed too. This will especially be where ultimately it’s very obvious that an answer would need to be provided by the company and not anyone within that particular forum. This is usually the case with most stocks that have questions unanswered at such times.

Bottom line, anything that is considered to be antagonistic in nature especially with negative connotations behind them to disrupt the environment and bring unconfirmed stress, should be removed. This is the unnecessary stress that should not be allowed. I trust that the IHub Admins will support my decision on how I am viewing matters or correct me where I am seeing things wrong.
