Lay of the land: Watch your wallet here, because you're
hanging out on the wrong side of the tracks, and there's not a
cop in sight. This is where an engineer posted a link to a phony
Bloomberg story in April announcing a buy-out of PairGain
Technolog ies, sending its stock soaring before the fraud was
unveiled.
Yahoo! won't discuss usage statistics, but by sheer volume it is
easily the most popular site (Yahoo!'s Amazon board, for
example, attracted 1,176 messages on one randomly selected
day, compared with 220 at SI's Amazon board). More is not
more. Unless you 're 11 years old, you will quickly tire of the
you-suck-no-you-suck banter that most often passes for
investment conversation.
Highlights: There aren't any. What with thousands of threads
on penny stocks and spurious trading systems, the only reason
to stick around is to start your own discussion through the
Yahoo! clubs feature and rigorously limit access.
Fitting in: Are you sure you want to? People do get booted for
foul or threatening language, but troublemakers can simply
create new aliases and log right back on. Save yourself some
grief, and hail a cab back to the nicer parts of town.
