Yes, I understand; but imo any deliberate “misrepresentation” and subsequent complaining or FUD-seeding especially in relation to issues that are relatively straightforward, rate somewhere on the scale of pathetic to coward-punch, and those posters should be ashamed of themselves.
Many genuine investors, alongside potential investors, seek genuine info and discussion (note I have not said advice) from forums like this, related to the company and its prospects, and should not imo be deliberately misled by pip-chasers and the like.
I suppose that as long as it is an anonymous forum where historical posts quickly get swept under the rug, it will continue; all the more reason for it to be called out when it happens imo.
I also note that on most occasions when such points are refuted, with supporting analysis or explanation, said posters rapidly diverge from the point at hand, and deflect with unrelated ad hominem garbage. It’s so obvious these days that I barely read the “replies”, since I know they’ll be devoid of anything actually related to the point in question; Just a littering of catchy buzzwords and baseless phrases like “mindless ramping”, “in love with the stock”, “unhinged”, “attacking everyone”, etc etc.
It speaks absolute volumes about their ability to critically analyse the point in question, to actually put forward an articulate and reasonable explanation to support a claim/view, or to objectively refute a point with facts/data/evidence and reasonable assessment.
In my experience, most of the “haters” came in “late” following a trend, and said trend didn’t play out as they hoped it would, and they find themselves “trapped” and upset about that.
Where is the detailed and objective analysis regarding the evolving risk-return..? Nowhere. Just buzzwords and bickering, and armchair expertise about what the company should be doing differently.
The harsh truth is that most people should actually do the exact opposite in this game than what their emotions drive them to do; yet they can’t see that and repeat the mistakes, over amd over and over again, angry at anyone who is optimistic regardless of the short-term issues or sp action.
They ultimately fail to learn from history and get rinsed, time and time again, getting angrier and angrier along the way. It’s sad really.
I just hope readers DTOR and try hard to separate the facts from the baseless/disingenuous speculation and often-subtle FUD-seeding that is so prevalent.
DYOR!! More important than ever these days!
