Nah, that wasn't a great reply, but I was doing other stuff, so that had to do. I've got time to spare today, so I'll explain a thing or two about stock message boards to you because it may help you in the future.
I don't fully subscribe to George Carlin's philosophy on life, but he does make some interesting and valid observations about people in general. His observations are especially instructive when it comes to stock message boards. The OVERWHELMING majority of message board posters fall neatly into 3 categories. They are either a) fucking stupid, or b) full of shit, or c) fucking nuts. Once you have learnt to appreciate this simple fact, almost everything you read on a stock message board makes sense. Members of category a) and c) are easy to spot. The posters who fall into category b) are the ones you have to watch out for, because they can appear reasonably intelligent on the surface. To find out if they're full of shit, you have to rattle their cage and see what happens. That's what I do; I rattle cages. If they respond well, they may be worth listening to. If they don't, you mark them down as having a whiff of shit about them. But you give them another chance, because everybody talks shit at some point if they talk long enough. If they do it again, then you can say with reasonable confidence that they're full of shit. For example, billgatesisevil was (and still is) full of shit. Kollmhn first identified it in the "No-one gets a dime before the DIP" incident, and I quickly confirmed it. He's a Ph.D and yet he's lost at least 1 million dollars on this investment. That's the downside of being full of shit. The upside of his misfortune is that it should make a lot of fucking stupid and fucking nutty people feel much better about themselves.
Here's George. Enjoy!
