On 'pumping' stocks -

When I post about a company, I always disclose my personal interest (if any). I don't have to do this but do so out of courtesy and ethics, so others know if I have skin in the game or not.

I never tell anybody to buy or sell any security, neither...

... do I know who follows my account or reads my posts.

So, the notion that I pump stocks for my personal gain is ridiculous! For starters, I predominantly invest in mid to large-cap companies (not micro-caps or penny stocks) and even if a stock moves a bit due to my post,...

...as someone who tends to own shares for weeks/months and even years, any movement over a single day is largely irrelevant.

I post my thoughts on here because am passionate about investing and happy to share the knowledge I've picked up over the past 20+ years. Thats all.

Finally, nobody should blindly follow me (or others) into any stock without first understanding the business and competitive landscape.

Investing without homework is financial suicide. You might get lucky but eventually, they'll carry you out.
