use other people's trades as just pointers to stocks that I normally wouldn't have heard about
That is exactly what I do, troll the boards for trading ideas, then look at the chart and if it meets my criteria for entry I proceed; if not, I move on. I don't do F/A on the stocks I trade (I actually mainly trade options these days), that way I don't get influenced by what the company does or how well they do it, LOL. The chart tells me everything I need to know. . .
