Over the 30-plus years of investing in the market, and some 15 years of posting on Hotcopper, the one thing I have learned is that there are THREE kinds of negative posters....

1] Those that have serious knowledge of the market, sector, and or the company involved, and are worth listening to

3] Those that own shares in a rival company in the same sector/region, and want to promote their investment

2] Those that have missed out on buying early, and then will wring out every possible negative to justify there inaction

The first kind of posters on Hotcopper show out clearly by well researched & balanced points made, and are of great value. The other two are quickly discerned by idiotic statements that just being negative for negatives sake. I cant be bothered with them, and they go on ignore.
