Hi Henning and welcome to HC. It plays a major role in my investing thought process - but I would advise that you only ignore those that have nothing to contribute, and tolerate some you may think of as downrampers. The market goes up and down...and everyone's right sometimes. I also now avoid posting too often because just that simple act of stating an opinion can bring emotion into play, and once you start defending your position, your objectivity and clarity of analysis suffers. I have found my decision making and timing has improved dramatically since observing HC from the sidelines. But maybe that's just me. Tho I would be wary of serial posters that say everything you want to hear...gl
