i suppose one would ask, "Why do you hold when your sentiment is 'Sell'?". If their sentiment is Sell, the poster is usually acting upon that sentiment. Similarly, if their sentiment is 'Buy', they would usually have purchased some stock, but that is not necessarily the case, as they might simply be following the stock. Hence it is just a binary choice to express overall sentiment. This isn't a long-only forum, and sentiment and disclosure allow adults to read and assess each post and poster on their merits.

The ad hominem responses get a bit old, dude. Try just discussing the information/ opinions being put forward without diverting to the poster's disclosure all the time. Apologies if there are others who should be tagged in this.
