I'll offer something about..."
an attitude which will get you slaughtered very quickly in this particular game"
Hindsight bias!
You display it in spades. Calling a stock a dud on a forum after it has declined 90% from its highs. The real smart ones are those calling it a downside risk. giving their reasons, and shorting it at $6.50.
On HC nobody was brave enough to call it prior to the Dec 2015 cash flow withdrawal (sub $1).
Hindsight bias is very dangerous. It lulls into a false sense of knowledge, typically those inflicted truly believe they knew it all along. A hindsight biaseee convinces themselves it was obvious after the event and goes on to develop an inflated ego based on nothing but building a story around their plagiarised research (aka headlines in blogs etc.) and a chart pattern to say they knew all along.
I've no conscience not talking about what I buy and sell. This forum is not for that purpose. If it was that would suggest people would be influenced by a posters actions and that is clearly dangerous.
Enjoy the genuine conversation on HC
but take it for what it is and make investment decisions after evaluating information from many sources - but least of all from what is posted on HC. At its best HC posters offer some insight into FA and TA that can prove to be educational when taken in context and evaluated based on own risk factors.
Opinions are just that - opinions. It would have been equally dangerous to listen to opposing views if those views turned out incorrect. It works both ways.
Said it many times, the only certainty in markets is uncertainty. If things were certain there would very little gains - it is risk that creates opportunity and reward.
Just for the record, not that is matters, you and others that claim to know so much about this poster no nothing to back up the adolescent rants.
Watch those biases, they will come back to haunt you!
