I've bought and sold these shares before and made a good profit and am always watching stocks for opportunities to make money. My intentions here are in line with my plan of making money from the stock market.
Further, and as part of my above overall plan, I find Hotcopper useful for discussion, to gain and exchange information, to gauge sentiment, to consider and hear views of others that may be able to offer knowledge or information on certain areas (for example, there are users on here from many different fields that know things I don't know - like current or ex miners, geologists, financiers, accountants etc - that are different to my profession and can offer valuable perspectives that I otherwise may not see), to get summaries of information quickly (rather than having to read through report after report after report etc) and also to offer my view on something, as the more knowledge one has the better.
So when I read many of the above posts and the blatant and baseless statements such as "re-rate due" or turnaround imminent, in relation to a stock I have traded a number of times and feel I know enough about to be able to comment on here based on actual facts and with an informed view, I have decided to add my comments and to provide others with my view. By doing so it adds a different perspective so that other Hotcopper users can potentially gain further knowledge and information themselves so that they too can trade or invest better and make more money on the market. It may even lead to more informed discussion that could benefit me in the future. It is the same way that I comment on here in relation to other stocks, typically with the purpose of trying to offer or obtain useful information.
Based on the response I received from Hug yesterday for me to just "Go away", you can tell that some don't like people if someone adds a view that doesn't align with their own baseless "re-rate" ramping. But that is fine, it's my view only and I don't mind if and fully expect others to have different views. And it is simple for one to just read a post and move on if they don't like what they read, or they can respond if they have something to add that is worth adding. I personally would prefer that as many people post on here as possible and provide their own views, so long as the post is based on something and is not a baseless ramp. If Hotcopper was just a "re-rate imminent" ramping platform then its value diminishes significantly, at least to me and I am sure to many others.
