It is this kind of ridiculous thinking that is so frustrating about HotCopper forums.

1. There are no sneaky paid manipulators here. If so please tell me how I get one of these jobs
2. If the reverse was also true (for promoting the share price) then most of HotCopper posters are paid manipulators

3. Crap written in HotCopper hardly influences the share price, and if someone does let it influence then that is their prerogative and entitlement
4. If something is written (not crap) and it influences the share price (unlikely) then so what, that is fair and exactly what a discussion forum is for
5. These forums are for all views/discussion, not just a bunch of Group Thinkers circle jerking about how good their share is
6. Ironically it is the circle jerking and animosity to any other view that makes HotCopper forums 90% useless

There I said it.
