I agree with the analysis about the effect HC on stock movements. The small low cap stocks might be influenced by something posted here but it is hard to believe the effect is great. Someone like The Speculator moves stocks. It is almost guaranteed but it often does not last more than a few days. I reckon HC often reacts to stock movements after the fact. Perhaps someone with time on their hands could do some analysis on the number of posts on HC in relation to a rising share price. Who knows, there may be a measurable and predictable relationship that might become a surefire stock picker.
As for PRE, nothing could possibly save this drowning dog.
