*Replying to Xtremes comment about HotCopper affecting the share price

Of course negative comments would affect the price, across any medium, and vice versa positive comments across any medium would impact investing decisions. Investing weighs heavily on information and mass psychology. Theres a high probability that investors would research general sentiment about CI1, and the only large scale discussion space for CI1 is right here on HotCopper. A barrage of negative comments one after the other would certainly sway some people into not buying. Of course people shouldn't take advice on a forum to heart when making decisions, but we all realise the fact that people like to follow the crowd, and inevitably do base some of their purchase decision on general sentiment gathered through online posts.

Hence why people trying to buy shares for lower prices tend to try and sway general sentiment on discussion forms towards the negative side, and people trying to raise the price try and sway general sentiment the other way.
