I read and post at both Stockhouse and Agoracom. When I put my money on the line I want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly regarding my investment. If I do not know all aspects, both good and bad, then I have not done proper due diligence have I? That is a rhetorical question. Ignorance of anything regarding ones investment is foolish and as they say, a fool and his money are soon parted.

While you may think that Stockhouse is a joke that is your opinion and I would suggest that you not discourage other from gaining a proper perspective and a broad range of opinions surrounding their investment. Even the famous bash Hork provides quality insights from time to time even thought 90% of his posts are nothing more then self serving statements or unfounded claims of doom for Sonomax.

A well educated reader will understand when reading a post what aspects are nonsensical and what parts require further discussion. Furthermore, a well educated poster will be able to effectively rebut any negativity with counter arguments if they should exist. Not all negatives are able to be countered with any credible logic. Such is a fact of life and a fact in investing.

I urge all readers to know and understand their investments pro’s and con’s. Failing that simplistic aspect of due diligence I suggest that readers simply hand their money over to and investment advisor and have them invest for them.
