I don't even know what stock he was speaking of, as I went by the post very quickly.
When Electric responded, I checked and saw that he had a string of similar posts---that's all I recall.
Okay, so I should not have said I could kick his a$$ or whatever. But to actually take offense because someone laughed at his post was absurd.
In any event I follow what you are saying (except I can't get a grip on what S/MM stands for). I suppose I have just become like the person who gets up to go to the kitchen when a commercial comes on. One of these posts show up and I change the channel or tune out.
With respect to valuations, it is difficult to sit tight with positions these days. If most of my stocks were not positions I have had for (in some cases) over 10, some 15 and 20 years, I would be as nervous as a cat. There was a time I could sell calls on XON, GE, AHP, and so on and not think much about it. Now even these slow movers take off.
I would guess posts that scream "BUY" with little else might appeal to someone who does not wish to think out a more complex post. Vance, over on Stock Swap, will pick a favorite stock and drive you nuts with a encyclopedia-sized explanation of why it's a good deal.
Perhaps that is too much for some; perhaps the "Crazy Eddie" advertisement works for those people. Here, however, that has to be an insignificant number of the population. I would hope, anyway. As you say, it's a pay per view site. How many will pay for cable or satellite TV because they wish to see the commercials? |
