troyus - I simply can't believe that the two whingers you may be thinking about (who do seem to work hand in hand together I'd suggest) could work for a broking house. My guess is that they're mates who simply got a tip on a stock and spent perhaps thousand dollars or so (possibly it could be one or two of the first stocks they've ever owned), didn't or couldn't do any analysis about it and when it didn't perform to their dreams, sought to blame someone else for their failure.
Why they continually rant on here must surely just be a form of venting. It can't serve any other purpose.
And if anyone posts a considered, thought-out piece on this particular stock (a few good ones have been posted recently in my view), these two just rubbish it for no apparent reason and then give each other an Upvote and a Great Analysis tick on virtually every post they make (usually straight after the other one posts something) to suggest to the world that they have some sort of credibility amongst HotCopper readers.
At the end of the day, though, HotCopper is a forum, so they're entitled to post whatever they like within the bounds of the law.
