100% this. Go look at he early pages in the Alternative metrics page. I saw people using web trend data here before houses like Citi and Goldman’s started putting them on broker reports.

Again in this thread, people were scanning twitter, insta and the merchant pages and finding major US merchants days / weeks before it became well known, while fund managers I heard were still saying “the stock is priced for success in the US but there are no guarantees it will happen” - when the stock was still single $s. Well sorry super smart fund manager, if you’d bothered to keep an eye on Twitter and get your head out of your excel sheet you’d have seen the US success unfolding before your eyes.

There was real value in these threads, and the people paying attention made a lot of money.

That Kylie cosmetics tweet - lifechanging for many people.

Now the stock is covered to death by the market so there is no information advantage, and this forum has degenerated into a typical bull/bear attention seeking flamewar - so why bother?
