Serious allegations about stock chat sites

[laurie]

So in legal terms what are we really allowed to say or not say
if I'm asked about a stock and give advice and it fails am I'm lible as this is a public forum and I and others do not receive a payment for our advice do the moderators step in and say "tut tut" and by us saying DYOR covers our backsides as I would like to think we are giving opinions not finanical advice

cheers laurie

Its the internet, I thought "Do your own research" was inferred no matter which website you were reading! I would love to see a case hold up in court where I sued a forum member for giving bad advice, I would be laughed out of court!

Didn't really think too many would read my post. I'm absolutely sick of the BS on other sites, the underground, the innocents losing their hard earned.

My comments were not directed at ASF, my post was clear about that!

you mean the people who post things like:

whooosh toot toot, train leaving,

going to the moon,

it's all blue sky,

big buyers coming in,

instos are buying,

big buyers off screen, and

announcement coming.


...are not legititimate?


Maybe that's why I've been losing all my money


lol

Sometimes newer members are just misguided and need a point in the right direction. This is why I love Joe's attitude; he wants to help everyone who comes on here and actually does! I've noticed this attitude reflected in the users of this forum too - sometimes people ask what I would consider to be a dumb question, and instead of everyone jumping down their throats like I would expect on any other forum, the people here are kind, compassionate, helpful and the person ends up extremely grateful.

This is why Joe's member numbers are sky-rocketing and his retention rate is almost total.

As for my fellow moderators, I've never been involved a friendlier or fairer group of people in my life, I have never met any of them in real life but would welcome them all into my home for food, wine and entertainment any day of the week; you couldn't ask for better leadership than this!

Chris, thank you very much for your kind words, your assistance as moderator and your support of ASF generally. I am very appreciative indeed!

You are also very welcome at my home for food, wine and entertainment, although at the moment that consists of some snags, a cask of goon and my 80's collection CD.
