mine is an opinion. keep things in perspective. just like every other person. research if claims made (by anyone) makes sense. if the numbers are in-line with what your research says. verify (everything)
that is the way to make use of any mb (if there is any retail use for any mb)
some people will rant. rave. matters not. your dd matters. your entry and exit strategy matters. evaluating the stock. catalysts. market. learning how to do analysis
having goals and an investing plan. and sticking to it is what matters
many have no clue how to research company, corporate and stock related info. like the false claims about the share structure. or gagged ta. can't gag a ta you don't have. ta records and documents ss-changes, so a change in o/s - doesn't happen without one. without them there are no shares issued. have to wonder why people say what they do. bashing? ignorance? both? hvel is another false claim with people saying it is 450M (may be eventually, but the state filing, hvel pr, and ntek shareholder letter do not agree). the otc is no authority
(so if you're following my suggestion you aren't buying what i just said - like the fiscal calendar test - research it. see if you can find the right places to look for that info and verify what i just said in the paragraph above)
often people will use information (bit of it typically) to steer you towards an opinion. based upon their own bias
no matter. your money is yours. so the research burden is on every investor. regardless of what "others say" or "claim" others say
(this is not high-school, or even grade-school. despite what others want you to think. real world. real money at stake)
personally i don't care what they say. only idiots and ignoramuses invest more time in bad-mouthing others (whose opinions are immaterial to an educated investor) rather than doing their work. investing is work. get to it (i say, and stop wasting time)
some cats are lazy by nature....let them be. again, matters not. matters what you do with your money. your time. how you approach your investment. keep learning. keep growing. stay away from those whose main output is negativity. gossip. badmouthing. twisting. blaming
i can't buy anything with that "currency". engage sparingly or not at all. many do so to shake shares loose. it is an effective strategy. short scalpers. short swing-traders. and day-trading shorts do this all the time (it is what we call in investing, "a strategy". a tool)
badmouthing never paid my bills. never helped me generate independence. financial freedom. i wouldn't advise the "fighting fire with fire" creed suggested. let them be. you do you
you'll either own their shares. or be in a position to help them when homeless. but following that lot is madness. claiming they do great, independent dd (as you say) while they bought the $.175 top is all you need to know. soon-to-be homeless people are desperate
wait them out. sit the bid if you think the stock has value w/in ur investing timeline. tap the ask from time to time. but invest in portions. never all in. keep cash. trade a range. build a free position. or even short the stock if you know how to. if not. move on. like sane people do. investing your time and energy looking for a more suitable investment (short or long)
people who own shares are naturally as biased as those who own a short position. as biased as those who flip. who have sold and want another go at 5-30% or whatever. and are eager to shake loose some shares within historically safe accumulation ranges. let them name call. my advice is don't use them as an example of how to invest. i am sure they are all bright people (cough-cough), but homeless and finger-pointing. blaming others. is no way i want to live
only you control your buy and sell clicks. make them count
and be accountable. it's the only way to live (imho)
hope that helps (end of psa)
