I know we are all coming on Hotcopper for different reasons. But it is a bit weird to see sometimes how it is used.
Of course, it is normal to be happy when we have been investing well. But strange that some people keep saying how good they have been. Does it add much to the conversation for the others ? In particular when you can't check if they have really the performances they claim to have.
For me, Hotcopper is a great tool as I can get a lot of different opinions and help me not to miss an element about a company. Usually, I am just looking for two things : - better understand what a company is doing (and not having just a general idea about the business), - their business model (basically how they monetise their business and their main costs).
Too bad, that so many conversations are only about the recommendations, the upside potential (or the past performances). These are subjective elements, so not that interesting to discuss. It would be much more interesting to focus conversations on the objective elements : the business of the companies, their business model, their cyclicity...It would probably benefit everyone to better understand companies.
I am a bit surprised by the way some people get upset when you disagree with them on this website. In fact, I find it useful when people disagree with me, if there is a constructive way to explain it and they do not try to impose their opinion.
Once again, I think that hotcopper is not there to reach a consensus (it reflects the market, with different opinions), It should only be a tool for us to learn more about the listed companies.
