Dear Me bizzboy - I think you might actually find there is a direct correlation to the number of Hotcopper followers to the direction of sp. THe more followers the less likely the sp is going to rally.
It is a common gauge in FX markets called the 'Surprise Index" - They base this around a number of good announcements exceeds market expectations for the next announcement and vice versa - hence the general market is disappointed or surprised which effect FX movements. You will note on HC when there are a large number of posters on one stovk the cup runnest over and the expectation is wildly positive. Any poster suggesting even a cautious approach gets shot down in flames.
So then we come to EHR and other 'not so loved' stocks. To me its a perfect time to buy and/or accumulate (if your own research says so) because the herd is elsewhere.
But please, but please do not suggest not buying a stock because it does not have many HC followers. I have now heard it all.
In fact the large buyer of stock would not even bother with HC.
