The Yahoo! Message Boards are the worst. They seem to be just full of people pumping or bashing a stock like their effort makes a real difference on the price of the stock. One example is Montepelier Re’s message board. You get one guy that brags about Berkshire Hathaway every day, how does that add to the discussion about MRH? You also get the doomsayers with “storm this, storm that, get out now”. I mean, there is just too much ranting on without any research to back it up. “Berkshire is doing well! You should get out of MRH today!” just quite doesn’t cut it. I don’t think there are enough idiotic investors out there to affect the movement of these companies. These posters swear they will because they’re at it everyday. I mean if you don’t like a company, just put your money where your mouth is and DON’T invest it in, simple as that.
Also, if you want to see real stupidity, check out the Sirius message board. With every small uptick or downtick in price, you’ll see tons of posts “HAHAHA the longs/shorts are so stupid LOL”. Don’t these people have better things to do? Check out Yahoo! games page or something.
If you want garbage, find it at the Yahoo! Finance Message Boards.
