Just remember 80% of daytraders lose money. If you make money, the more power to you.
I would argue that the percentage is even higher, I don't daytrade, after all it usually takes more than a day for the hot air and hype to be let out of stocks like this one.
Generally, longs do not post hype to hurt shorts, they just are enthusiastic about their investment - whereby shorts generally are "In Your Face" when a stock goes down and loses money, and rub it in the longs face usually without provocation.
Then what purpose does the hype serve? Investors don't need or want hype, they want the facts, not a bunch of best case scenario baseless dreamer conjecture, which is what this board is full of.
I must say, if most shorts lived in the old west and played poker and behave the way they do when the stock goes down - they wouldn't be around the next day.
Either that or the shorts would be good with a gun, I am.)i'm sure that line will get quoted and villified by someone, yawn) Of course you somehow miss all those posts where people tell the shorts you better cover, you're going to get blown out of the water, big news coming etc. If you were in a poker game and saying a bunch of crap about how you got a great hand and you're fixing to win the pot, and then you lose you would of course get it thrown back in your face.
