I would say that the way to answer this question is to ask yourself, "If I did not have Internet access, would I have made this trade?" I recognize that many contributing factors may have gone into the decision during your due diligence process, but in order to get a good sample size, the answer needs to be an on or off switch. So, in the above example, I think you should include XYZ in your Internet forum influenced portfolio. Thanks, Jon
