Knowledge doesn't discriminate between holders and non holders....

Knowledge doesn't discriminate between holders and non holders. There are many, many professional investors and great traders of our times who have canvassed the market but may only hold a few stocks, does that mean they lack the knowledge to comment? I would think not. Warren Buffet isn't invested in LRS but if he stopped to offer his comment here would you turn him down as he's a non holder? The non holders vs holder is an unfortunate fallacy of hotcopper - typically only when things are looking down (otherwise holders are happy to jump on board with opinions and dreams of blue sky).

All the best. If it's play money - yeah no problem. But your first post was strongly worded for play money, and grossly inaccurate in hot copper's defence. It's an online forum full of know its, and let's face it - herd, psychology and mum and dad emotions are all over many stocks here. There's an advantage in playing that, but there's also a responsibility for your own actions and not being sucked in. Clearly you were angry with hot copper rather than recognising your own inability. As do all people - from various degrees. What seperates the long term performers I strongly believe are those who have an open mind to assess all aspects of information and advice. A closed mind always loses out to an open.
