Mihal - perhaps the most important part of the article is at the end:

"The truly sane and only somewhat safe solution to all of this: FIND GOOD COMPANIES IN WHICH TO SPECULATE AND GET INTO THEM AT THE GROUND FLOOR LEVEL. Anything else is criminal or stupid. This is a case where there really isn't a gray area. It's either Black or it's White. The company and its management are scamsters or they really intend to bring value to their shareholders."

Of course Hot Copper can 'manipulate', but it works best when it influences. The reason why it is worth sorting through the low content ramping (up or down) posts on HC is because doing so can help to find these 'good companies'.

As far as CCC is concerned we have the 'we're going to $1 soon' posts, and we have the 'but what if the Govt takes over the mines' ones.

Inbetween are the thorough and detailed analyses (such as yours Mihal) that help us to see that we are indeed dealing with a company that intends to 'bring value to their shareholders'.

If the 'going to $1' posts convinced you to buy then this probably isn't the game for you yet, and you really need to read more articles like the one Mihal references. If the 'OMG the Govt will buy the mines' posts scared you into selling then the same applies.

If reading posters such as Mihal convinced you that this is a company that has transformed itself in the last 6 months or so, that is building solid foundations for growth over the next 2-3 years, and is not being run by scamsters then congratulations.

That should be why you read Hot Copper.
