Freep, do you think people really make trades based on their perceptions of sentiment on these threads? This is a serious question, because I see people talking about it all the time. But I am hard pressed to think of a more stupid way to waste one's money, except perhaps via spitballs, i.e., flick a spitball at the ceiling, and if it sticks, go long, if not, go short, if it hangs by a thread of saliva, try a spread or straddle, etc...
Do you think anyone ever really does it? (I mean use these boards to guage sentiment to any serious degree?) |
