Wow, i just pulled up a five-year monthly chart, looks like January 2000 this thing goes absolutely bonkers .... that was when anything tech was running on the flimsiest news, or rumour of news ... i had one that was a mini-cmgi sort of, little venture capital deal where they were taking resources cash and heading off with it to seek their fortune, i got a five-bagger out of the thing, sold the most in the first days of March 2000 ... one month later, it was tank city in all that non-golds stuff
This doesn't really explain a million posts to me, not at all ... even if all desolate folks had to do was to type, you'd think they'd discover that they could type wider afield, on a variety of topics ..... ? ... really, as soon as i see a lot of people talking about a single stock, it puts me off from even thinking about that stock as a speculation .... the ones i want to enter, nobody is talking about, or very few ... when you see the chat spike up on one, it's probably because it's having a run, and that means - it's time to sell
