crucial fact, page-22

TSF, the amount of research I put into stocks isnt necessarily proportional to how much I have invested in them (I stay silent on many stocks that I trade/invest in), its generally proportional to how interesting they are (to me) and how interesting the debate about them happens to be. You point out an interesting observation, which I think simply reflects that companies when they are struggling are more interesting and provide (to me) more to learn than stocks performing well, and for that reason I think they are also generally more hotly debated on HC (and forums like it).

As to FA, well I think I'm better at TA, but FA is more interesting.

Cheers, Sharks.

PS: it also helps that I have a thick skin and a good sense of humour :-)
