While I've never considered myself either an up or down ramper...

While I've never considered myself either an up or down ramper of any stock I will say that I've posted some research and concerns here on this exact forum that were met with great contempt. I continue to voice what I consider reason on other threads and other stocks that is met with the same contempt.
I believe this isn't a forum for sharing insight or fundamentals, but instead an echo chamber for those heavily invested and feel that if they all cheer each other on loud enough, the stock god's will come hither to deliver them from financial ruin.
I still maintain that the audience of HC is not big enough to influence the market. To up ramp, down ramp or mislead the market is just not possible on this forum of amateurs. I further believe that people just want company in their decisions to make themselves feel better, regardless of the outcome.
Objectivity is all but lost here and that's not a good thing with investing. Emotional trading leads to emotional posting and before you know it, what's being posted is wholly subjective with other's points of view being shot down in flames.

A lot of people have lost a lot of money on this and stock just like it. People who grossly influence others to partake without admitting the huge risk are negligent.

I loathe the thought of people losing money and I hold great disdain for the people who gloat about it. People can walk away broke from investments such as this if great care isn't exercised. It is truly heartbreaking to think some family is going to suffer for this mobs actions. That's the reality of trading that is forbidden to be discussed here and while markets aren't being moved, someone might be guided into making a bad decision.

For every boat you miss, there will be a thousand more that will soon sail. The important thing is to check the hull very well before setting off.

Perhaps someday we can all sit around the fire under HotCopper and share meaningful conversations about stock and risk management as well.
