I would agree with the compulsive gamblers observation, but I tend to think that a combination of greed and need for association are factors as well. I've seen where solid companies were mentioned and everyone jumped in only to sell immediately after realizing the "guru" had liquidated his position. All of the great fundamental reasons for the 'buy' were still in place, but the "guru" essentially stated that the thread no longer was interested in the issue.

In the end you are the one that makes the call or hits the keyboard!

The old "Nothing for Nothing" certainly applies here. Either buy a
good company or get in and out of the hyped ones fast.

The stock message boards are great for info but also present a new
way of ripping off people. Btw, this is not limited to the BBs. I took
a hell of a beating on a NASDAQ big board stock recently.
