To answer your question, I tend not to notice the sentiment indicator when I post, except initially, so it would not be unusual for it to be out of date. Also, I indicate the sentiment to reflect what I am doing, so if I hold a stock, and I am neither buying nor selling, then I would flag it as "hold". I sometimes do not have the funds to buy, and sometimes I feel I am over invested in a particular stock, so I would flag it as "hold", even though I think others may be well advised to buy.

Until recently I used an SP of $10.00 as my no-brainer buying line, and I posted that in April I had bought 1,100 CCP shares at that price. That is a small parcel for me, but I could not scrape together the funds to buy more. I hold 17,800 CCP shares, so had I the funds then, I would have bought at least thrice as many in April to move the holding to 20,000. I'll recalibrate my buy price when I have the funds to do something about it.

Oddly, although CCP is a very predictable performer, the SP can bounce about.
