I find watching people talk about shares to be quite intriguing. Both camps, the positive and negative have as much reason for their points of view. The constant "I'm right, you are wrong" discussions are quite tiring! But I can see why people do it, it's human nature to want to talk yourself in to one position or the other. Sadly, where money is involved we seem to see the worst of human interaction. Trading, while based on numbers and 'certainties' in terms of indicators, really is just personal opinion based on your view point and perceived understanding of a company's health and future. Makes it hard for us amateurs that's for sure!!
