''IT'S is no wonder that they bounce from opinion to opinion without any regard for its source , accuracy, or relevance''..............right on point!!!!!!!.........but since perception is or will become reality it is rather useless for us to complain about the pack mentality but instead we should try to anticipate it and profit from it......take my case on opening this morning i held 1500 amat acquired at 73 and was the author of amat SI post #37194 where i anticipated sfam warning late Thursday might hurt amat on Friday so did i sell my 1500 amat at open for 78 15/16 and re-enter at $3.50 A SHARE LOWER NEAR CLOSE FOR a $5k enhancement of my portfolio?.....No i did not act on my perception of the mass mentality but held my hand for a $5k paper loss reduction of value in my portfolio........since those of us who do not learn from the lessons of history are doomed to repeat the lesson, i for one intend to act differently next time around.....perhaps those guys on SI ''Steve's channelling Thread'' HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA when they are in and out of stocks faster then we can say Jackie Robinson .....all i know is that the crowd is bouncing from the opinion to opinion you referred to ..and this coupled with miniscle commissions when trading makes for the volatility that is here to stay and I, for one,will only achieve wisdom only when i anticipate ahead of time the mob and ANALyst mentality since complaining after the fact doesn't do my pocketbook any good
