posting motives..., page-66

zzedzz...

"Consider the simple situation of posters actually wnating to be realistic in this climate rather than the old wildly optimistic."

Both these types are covered in type 1...

1. Shareholders, perhaps understandably discussing their stocks with the view of remaining in touch with the markets and fully informed, as they share their views on their investments with other like minded individuals. Some might feel this is best helped by talking up their stocks prospects, whilst others might adopt a more sanguine, even handed approach and prefer looking at both the pros and cons with equal measure"

zzedzz...the group of "wildly optimistic" and/or "posters actually wnating to be realistic" that you refer, to can in fact be found in the "type 1 posters" reference above, with the relevant passages highlighted...I am surprised you did not see it?

Further, I also suggested the type 2 posters were more or less the exact opposite of the type 1 posters...so, clearly this infers if we are suggesting we find overly negative posters in type 2, we might expect to see overly possitive posters in type 1!

Make sense?

Cheers!
