where's all the brilliant analytical posters, page-20

I did a foolish thing about 4 years ago - I bought some shares in a company after reading the views of one person on Hot Copper, I still have those shares and they are virtually worthless (OTE). I have learnt a lot since then, I still read lots of HC posts and some people supply some good views and even humour, but in the last 4 years never has one person been anywhere near 100% right on what they believe is going to happen in these situations - most of the time the ones that you think are on the money are never even close. The best indication of what is going to happen is when it is to late and either the share price shoots up or plummets as MEO did last time before the duster ann. This is because the ones in the know make their move before everyone else gets the info. So if you take on board posters views about "must be bad news because" then you are a fool like I was because these people dont know. Shares are a gamble and with odds sometimes a lot worse than going to the casino.
