“who would spend time posting if they didn’t own stocks?“ (presumably the same stock that you own ?)

Thats easy..... someone who wants everyone to succeed in the sharemarket and who doesnt want honest people getting ripped off ! Someone who has an interest in the market and wants others to learn, have confidence in their investing ability and to succeed. Someone who wants to educate others so that they dont make the same mistakes over and over again (such as they themselves have possibly done), and one who generally wants to help others.
I’ll tell you the little story about the bird flying north for the winter that left his flight too late.
As he was flying north, his wings froze up and he fell to ground surely to die from the cold.
Just when he was about to die, a cow came along and sh*t on him.
The bird was warmed and gained energy, he was so happy, he began to sing.
Hearing the birdsong, a fox came along, dug him out of the dung, and ate him.

The moral of the story is;
Not everyone that sh*ts on you is your enemy....
Not everyone that gets you out of the sh*t is your friend, and
If you are happy in your pile of sh*t, keep your mouth shut !

To put it differently, I learn from everyone. Sometimes its what to do, sometimes it what NOT to do...... but I learn from everybody !!!!!!
