Hi Whisky...it seems that you respond a great deal of the time to takers who are responding to baiters....
The essence of having forums is to hear every possible angle of the shares that you are invested in. The simple reason being that you are looking for the possible catalyst, or at least, origin of a company problem. Hopefully before it gets to be a financial issue for the company and consequently a reduced share price for holders.
Listed companies do not always keep shareholders in the loop when there is a possible problem.....but sometimes the word can get out and be exposed on forums such as HC. Yes there can be false trails and long winded discussion on unimportant matters but if you ignore those persons that choose to express all, and I mean ALL avenues of potential investment threats then you just might miss the opportunity to find out where your investment took a turn for the worse.
If you have a successful vetting process that allows you to cut out and ignore ONLY baiters then good luck. If you then go on to ignore the "takers" that engage with and 'reason away' and 'debate successfully' with a negative view then it could be you that could he losing insight.
If you know it all, and are comfortable to expound your knowledge and come to HC to help share your insights then there is nothing wrong with that. Attempts by you to guide contributors to this forum on how to successfully use this forum in your style is demeaning.
Cutting out the voices of concern, dispute and inquiry just so you can hear the voices of calm company progress is great when you are an insider. Non of us here are insiders. We don't get regular and consistent announcements especially when inconsistencies develop around timelines and previous announcements.
Company progress and development is great until it isn't.... small shareholders are always the ones that get hurt the most. That's why they habitat places like HC....in the hope that a small heads up from another poster might just be all they need to steer them away from potential loss.
But I guess you probably know all this.
