Great post Fred, I get sucked into this BS also and I'm sick of SI. When I first joined 2 years ago it was alot different it now seems to be a big waste of time.

Regards

I have to agree with you Fred but its interesting to see some of the names I thought were good posters a long time ago have recently starting playing the bb scam arena.Even the best ones go down. Right here takes place some of the worst bickering I have ever seen. More like a bunch of kids and brown nosers than an investment forum. With time most will learn and I know I still have lots to learn myself.
See You Around

Regards
Mark

Nice post Fred,
I also wonder why I read this thread so much. I guess its entertaining and sometimes someone puts a decent post on. I have occasionally seen a post from someone who rarely posts and look into their stock and find it interesting yet they go unnoticed.
I made a few sarcastic comments today and my point on the issue with NBET was not directed at the naysayers but at the hypesters. If the stock is going up we can all see that without the hype. These people should slow and and let it trade for a couple days then comment on a couple days activity. It seems if a stock moves up for ten minutes people say crazy things like "**** stock is exploding!!!" only to have it go down the rest of the day. These people lose credibility real fast and become a waste of space.
this is just my opinion from someone who reads SI threads daily

<<<<<<Copia said long term on GNII, and everyone knew up front that Big Dog said NBET was NOT a daytrade, when it didn't behave like a daytrade you guys went ballistic. DUH!>>>>>>

Well, I can tell you that probably 90% of the traders that view these threads want every stock to behave like a daytrade and if it doesn't they will be disappointed, naturally. However, it's not the end of the world.

Picks like NBET, GNII probably were viewed and are viewed as hype, get rich quick stocks just because they were mentioned on these high profile threads(Dog House, Joe Copia's ..., TokyoMex/SA, etc.), even though the people recommending them didn't say they were daytrade stocks. They just implied the stock will go up 400%+ on great news!!!

Frederick, if you're going to cruise these threads be ready to breath in the BS and crap that is everywhere. Whether it's touted as a long term hold or a daytrade. Comes with the territory!

I bet many will agree with me when I say the the Dog House, Tokyo Mex threads aren't places people come to have quality discussions, they come here for the crap and hype that is thrown everywhere and I mean everywhere!!

Basically, it's hard to go through all the crap on these threads and then deal with a common sense post like yours, but I think most here would rather deal with the crap!!

Fred,
If you are long on the stocks you mentioned I don't completly understand you frustration?
I believe its in the best interest of all to stop this finger pointing and head in a mutual direction with solid picks. The internet is maturing, people are growing and it will take effort on everyone's part. A simple pass or I'm in will suffice for the most part unless someone has crediable DD to post.
