Pfft! What nonsense! As an investor you need to learnfor yourself how to read announcements. There are bunnies and then there are those who have put the time and effort into learning and educating themselves on how to differentiate between good bad and dressed up announcements. You sound like you have bought into many positively spun announcements that were not actually any good, and subsequently lost money. Are you the type to blame the companies and their sneaky tactics? Cos you should be blaming yourself for not learning or teaching yourself better.
