SH likes the Trolls . Refreshing your own posts is also a joke but gives the impression there is interest. An informative post about a stock gets 30 reads and the next post by a known Troll gets 5,000 reads. Real posters should email any company advertising on SH and let them know what's going on. Money talks.
Eventualy the posters who are interested in stocks will make their way to other boards like this one.
