Thanks and I do agree that it is counterproductive to attack others on the threads unless they do something unscrupulous. Being optimistic about plays you like is a role. Being pessimistic is a role. Attacking others by calling positive comments hype or negative comments plunges is useless although you see both on many threads. Usually the plunge stuff goes something like, "are you trying to drive the price down to buy more" or some such accusation. Remember the market will exploit whatever your psychological weakness is. It is a very tricky place and I think SI is helpful. In fact, I often point out how tricky it is with the quotes. All should remember what Richard Russell says, "You may not be able to overcome your weakness, but you better be aware of it - and you better do your investing accordingly, according to your own abilities." When I like a play I enjoy saying so and when I do not like I like to say that. My motivations are not usually to try to move the stock, although that has crossed my mind, but rather to enjoy the dialog and learn something. I have learned an enormous amount about this play because of SI. Part of the reason I sold was because of Harwood's insights. However, everyone lives with the consequences of their own choices. So if it rallies then those who hung in there will benefit. Everyone, with no exceptions, must make their own decisions. The "net" IQ however is probably higher than our individual ones and therefore useful.
