Perhaps it is because more people are posting on Yahoo?

I have noticed a lot of references in the past few months to posts on the Yahoo board. I never used to notice those before.

In addition, the summer period is slow.

And of course, people post more when their stocks are going up than we they are going down.

I think a lot of people use these boards thinking they will somehow get a competitive advantage and be able to outsmart the average investor.

The absolute bear market for tech stocks and the resulting losses that so many of us have had to indulge, I think, have deflated our optimism and made us realize that these boards offer little more than a place for people to vent and hype.

The few times I have made an investment based on these threads, I have gotten creamed, so I use them now primarily as yet another reference.

I still think SI is the best of the investment threads...
