Couldnt agree more, especially with spec stocks!

Also good to consider someones motives when they are posting. Most people will have a buy price and a sell price and will do anything to get a stock to one of those two points.

A good tell is if a poster is very negative then swings to positive on the same stock, but most will be smart enough to change their name on a forum like this.

they have other tactics too (publishing articles, paying brokers to advertise a stock etc.) so I suggest always doing fundamental calculations based on worst and best case scenarios.

the market may not always follow what a stock should be worth but in longterm trends, business'es who successfully turn feed into product and thus turn a profit will go always go up (I'm yet to see a company who is upgrading their profit/assets and not increasing market cap at the same time)
