Pros: Includes all stocks, including OTC, Many posters
Cons: Use with caution
Summary: I first became involved in the Raging Bull Message Board when a stock I owned (PDIM--great restaurants like Koo Koo Roo and Hamburger Hamlet, but a lousy stock) got kicked off the NASDAQ.
We had had an active group of stockholders who ... read more

Pros: tons of info,easy to use
Cons: spammers
Summary: I have been using Ragingbull.com now for a little over a year an I truly have enjoyed it. It is a lot like epinions in many ways except for the constant spamming that goes on in most of the forums, but there is an ignore button. It won't get rid of all ... read more

Pros: good for investor sentiment
Cons: not good for much else
Summary: The bull boards are great for getting the pulse of investor sentiment and emotion but for hard facts you should really look elsewhere as bashers and hypers will sometimes exagerate news items or even start rumours just to try to influence investors. ... read more

Pros: great place to research IPO's, many good postings
Cons: a lot of messages with little or no content (spam)
Summary: Since stock message board postings differ widely in quality, it is difficult to know in advance which one to go to when researching investments. For a specific company, I first scan through posts on Silicon Investor, Raging Bull, the Motley Fool, and ... read more

Pros: depth, ease of use
Cons: much BS to wade through
Summary: Ragingbull.com is the way to go! I started out on Fool.com and switched as soon as I found out that RB has 1000x the action! If you invest in stocks, I would say that you are a fool not to check in with the members opinions on RB once in a while. ... read more

Pros: members are posting, can ignore abusers, compiles news from many sources
Cons: 50% of posts are self-fulfilling prophecies
Summary: Any message board relies on rumors. However, as an investor, you must decide which rumors (posts) to believe. I have found that nearly half of all posts on Raging Bull are from people with a self fulfilling prophecy.
If an investor is ... read more

Pros: Lively discussion of just about any stock out there
Cons: Sometimes a little like a chat room
Summary: I signed up for Raging Bull about a year ago when I started investing (small sums) in penny stocks. You can do basic research on Raging Bull, as there are links to charts and articles on many stocks, including penny (OTCBB) stocks. But I do most of my ... read more

Pros: Great interface, generally intelligent commentary
Cons: Bozo rumor spreaders
Summary: Stock message boards are a good place to get investor insights on stocks.
They are NOT, however, places on which to base your investment decisions.
I've tried most of the boards and have found that Raging Bull's has the best ... read more

Pros: none
Cons: Not Intelligent
Summary: If you're looking for a good message thread, don't go to Raging Bull. If you're just interested in reading something and you don't care what it is, then you may want to read your paper's list of yesterday's closing stock prices. My experiences with ... read more

Pros: Amusing , sometimes informative
Cons: Too many nonsense posters
Summary: I don't so much heed advice of these message boards, but the informative ones provide you with links to do research on a given company, an excellent resource particularly for the penny stock investor, because finding information on a penny stock can be ... read more
