The criticism of the overly optimistic folks on HC is often well founded - they do disappear after negative news because they've well and truly sold out a majority of their holding prior to the news coming. That's good trading of course, but they've also tried to mislead other holders who might be using HC as their main research tool (many will say buyer beware, but ill respectfully disagree with that).

I usually start to get worried when posters are talking about boat parties and crayfish and Cuban cigars (I've seen it a few times on penny oilers with a guy named pumper and another named delta trader!), and have a bunch of cheerleading acolytes attacking anyone who posts pessimistically (note that I believe there is a difference between pessimistically and realistically) and use disparaging nicknames for those posters.

Respect is obviously earned in this game, but it should also be someone's default position on a forum.

Now, FFS, get some Monepantel into a bunch of humans (more than half a dozen ) suffering from COVID-19!
