Cap: >>>"I doubt very much that anyone posting on this or any other thread can have much of an effect on a particular stock."

Well stated. Although these internet discussion threads can often influence the decisions of the occasional smaller investor it's those with the big money that have the major control in any stock's price. Simple enough to understand if you think about it.

However there are some who think otherwise and will go to great extremes at times. Some of us start out so positive or negative on an issue that we tend to get a bit overexhuberant just talking on a subject and our enthusiasm is fueled even higher when it appears we're "thinking right" based on the stock's activity. Some of us "hear things" but we're so new to the game that we're unsure what constitutes a "reputable source" when it comes to rumors. There are those that know their subjects and continue to study them; there are those that know little about the true subject at hand but know how to read and use search engines; there are those that know little if anything yet choose to post anyway and of course there are some great orators.

This is but one little "series" that has become a classic in some peoples' books:
