>>But why, then, is it that people keep coming back to SI? <<
Janice, I can only speak for myself.
When I first joined SI I wanted to share with others information about the technology and the companies I was invested in, both positive and negative.

What I found is that this only works for large listed companies, in which the price can not be easily manipulated.

In small BB issues, I discovered that the positive information shared acted like a beacon to draw those who wanted to (needed to?) bring the stock down. This polarized the discussion, with the longs not wanting to discuss anything negative, since there were enough non-investors who took every opportunity to put a negative spin on anything said. This also caused some long holders to rally to their stock, which of course resulted in their being called hypsters.

On a positive note, I did make some friends here on SI, and that is why I keep coming back. I come here to share niceties with friends, and to share some generic information about the sector and about our companies. But any detailed information or DD is done through other channels. SI is not the proper vehicle, and their mission statement will never be met because of these dynamics. JMHO.
