If passing a required polygraph before being able to post on a stock board would really thin out the pack! There is so much "IMO" "IMHO" blah blah going on that it becomes all but impossible to know for a FACT who are normal retail investors, who are paid manipulators, bashers, third-party posters, etc.
I find what works good for me is I have a set exit price before entering a stock. I avoid all the muck and get in and out (hopefully) with a profit I determined I would be happy with.
Works for me.
IMO hahahaahaa
