Good Morning all, It looks like the market is taking a beating today so I thought I would dedicate this post to one of our due diligence tools which is posting and posts on the various investor boards.
Somethings I want to explain to you about posts and posting are some of the various motives behind posting on the investor boards. Obviously one of the main reasons we post is to bring awareness to a particular stock. That is pretty much a given. I believe a good post creates awareness and includes information that can help you make your decision on whether to buy or sell the particular stock. For instance if I include a recent chart of a particular ticker in a post and also point out to you the highlights of that chart then that in my opinion is a good post that you can use in doing further due diligence on that ticker. My motive behind that post would be to give you some information that I myself would use in making a decision if I were going to trade that stock. A poster whos motive is to just pump a stock and create hype would of course think you are stupid and post something like "This stock is ready to move imo(in my opinion) 52 thousand times and clog up the board with this nonsense.
Predator promoters who just want to pump and dump a stock on a particular day will flood the posting boards with hundreds and hundreds of nonsensical posts just trying to get numbers for a day in order to make themselves look good. I am and have always been of the belief that quality always trumps quantity.
I do not ever post the same hype ridden post over and over again just trying to get my post numbers up. I believe you are intelligent and will recognize an intelligent informative post and do not need to be hounded with posts in order to make your decision on whether to invest or not.
Another motive behind posting is posters generally get hired to do just that. Post and post and more posting in order to just plain and simple get paid. On average posters get paid $1 per post with a minimum of 50 to 100 posts per day per promotion. I am not knocking getting paid to post as I get hired all of the time to post. What I am knocking is the blatant disregard for your intelligence when posts are being posted. For this reason my posts are always laced with content you can use and is designed to make you a more informed investor. So read all of those posts and find the posters who think along these lines and use that info to better make your decisions while doing as always your OWN due diligence in your investment decisions. Until tomorrow..... Ride Hard or Stay Home
