Mach, what you say is true.
Value, share structure, market emotion and the MM's all play in a stock's pps. A message board post has little effect except for certain daytrade plays.
OT: With CMKX I learned 2 things:
1) The more we were told, the less was true.
2) The less we're told, seems more accurate the reality.
I hope I'm wrong about #2 and hoping it flies for everyone still in it.
