I have never done it. I was hoping to tease out some knowledge from those who know better than me how it works. But it was told to me that the best way to do it was to log post counts over a long period of time. You then get a feeling for a "moving average" of post counts of which, if it is to be used as a contrary indicator would be seen as a buy if under the moving average (more of a buy the further under). Other things they considered were logging the appearance of usual up or down rampers on the thread. Views is also another factor to consider.
These people traded the very liquid and discussed stocks like AVB and LYC back in the day.
That is one example of how people use HC. It would be very interesting to see the wide range of uses that people come up with for this awesome resource that is hotcopper.
Do you lurk DT threads for leads? Do you lurk STT? Do you look at post counts? Do you follow certain posters?
I just find it really interesting that this site is like its own microcosm.
