Personally, I haven't a clue about what the BS Indicator is purporting to demonstrate, let alone how it is calculated.

However, I would say that for every BS indicator, there should also be a BS Hype indicator. Although I don't need to spend hours trying to demonstrate a correlation between the thousands of posts of patently false BS hype on this thread and the price of the stock. There is none.

Or it might even be a negative correlation. Such as during the fall of 1997 when our inside sources were telling us production was imminent and the price was tanking from $10 to <$5. Or during December of 1998 when our inside sources were telling us that the SEC filings were dated attorney disclaimers and production was imminent, and the price was tanking from $11 to $5.
