I don't disagree, but I can generally see through blind optimism. Most will cheer on their own holdings and many are over confident about their tipping prowess. As they say 70% of peeps think they are smarter than average.

While I'm not a day trader I buy and sell stocks all the time. However there are some I keep as longs and AKK is one of them for now. I will wait for the results in the first half of 2013 and then reconsider my position.

I disagree about traders. I think there are plenty of wolves dressed in sheeps' clothing on these forums. We are not talking about trading ASX 100 or 200 companies but small cap stocks with low trading volumes. It's naive to think people will not try and influence the decisions of others to make a profit, its part of human nature.
