Hi Trader J,
Let me preface this by saying that I have a great deal of respect for all of your contributions, and I very much appreciate the time you take to share your insights, so please keep that in mind when reading my post. <g>
>>Answering posts like that does not add credibility to them or grossly increase their actions.<<
But it gives attention to those who are responsible for the posts which, oftentimes, is exactly what they're after. And in the end, a lot of time is spent on tangential subjects and debates rather than discussing important technical and fundamental matters that pertain to GOOG in the here and now.
It's true, misinformation can be posted. But even new investors to GOOG and the thread can distinguish the substantive, valuable contributions from those that are...well...NOT. <g>
I'm all for hearing negative developments re: GOOG. It helps me in my investing/trading. However (and again this is just my opinion) I don't find it fruitful to spend my time on posts that have an agenda and are full of hot air. Personally, I think there's something to be said for simply ignoring that kind of stuff and not rewarding it with attention. In my opinion, by responding to such posts, it just encourages further posts of the same nature. (By the way, I am using the third person here because I'm discussing the issue in general. <g>)
Again, all just my opinion. I know that you and I'm sure others disagree, but I thought I'd stick in my two cents since this has been going on for a while now. Hope I haven't ruffled any feathers.
Best -- IHSC |
