Hey, charting is the greatest invention ever! Everyone assumes they can read charts and flip stocks based on them. Buy. Sell, Buy. Sell. Another reason brokerage houses do well. And who would buy pennies based on fundamentals?

One way to kill discussion on IHUB is to mention SEC filings. The fundamentals. Cash flow. Regulations. Financial statements. Audits. Heck, as a lawyer, I tend to pick stocks based on the CPA firm. I love to read the PCAOB reviews of small auditors. Madoff's investors should have done similar research!

You're correct that IHUB has become more of a social site more than an investing site. I've watched online stock boards evolve since the beginning. Pennyland is almost dead now. On IHUB, boards devoted to sports or politics still do well.

It's very lonely being a good investor here. LOL. Unlike many here, I'm not retired or unemployed. I'm spending a lot more time on SA and similar groups lately.
