The internet can be a great and wonderful tool for research. Unfortunately it can also be a source of mistakes, incorrect information (again by mistake or on purpose) which can make the truth sometimes hard to find.

Boards like this are great in some ways in that they can point you in the right direction to do DD on companies in which you are interested. However you should always remember that most of the posters here are hiding behind screen names (including me) and could be anyone with any agenda. The same argument goes for internet 'journalists', you can't see them, you don't know them and they could be anyone serving any agenda.

If you buy or sell this or any stock based on what someone posted on this or any website, you deserve what happens to you. If you buy or sell a stock based on your own DD, treating these sort of posts as entertainment, you will not only sleep better, I suspect your profits will also be better.

Happy New Year to all,
