I would just like to clarify a couple of things here.
Firstly, I do not consider whether or not someone holds a stock to be relevant to their input into the various stock threads here at ASF. In fact, motivation is largely irrelevant as long as there is genuine analysis (of any kind) or pertinent information being posted. It's up to those reading the thread to decide whose analysis they agree with more.
Secondly, it takes many views to make a market. There is nothing wrong with being bullish or bearish on a stock as long as you can back up your assertions or present analysis to support your point of view. Personally, I think that threads where multiple points of view are presented tend to be the most useful as they provide different perpectives and a variety of avenues for further investigation.
I would also like to point out that the role of myself and the moderators in stock threads is not to decide whose analysis is correct and interfere in the thread on that basis. Our role is to enforce the site rules and make sure everyone behaves themselves. If you can demonstrate that someone is deliberately posting false or misleading content then by all means let us know about it. Otherwise, it is our job to stay on the sidelines. We do not take sides in disputes and everyone is judged by the same set of rules.
