I find this forum pretty entertaining because trading is binary: You either buy or you sell. On top of that the dude next to you might change his position at any time because TA, news or whatever.
There are some people whose opinion I trust most of the time. There are some people who I find to be in denial. And then there are some who just spread fud without any basis. In a bear market I am more weary of long term holders. They are either in denial or they try to manipulate. During this bear market I have also found that there are a few are long term holders who actually dare make bearish predictions. Brave people
You also have to consider that many people don't mind sharing their honest opinion once they have changed their positions and are done trading. It is also in their interest that others reach the same conclusion as they have. It takes longer for a whale to be done with his trading, so they might be tempted to manipulate while they finish their buying or selling. Finally I also have a feeling that there are moments where nobody has a clue what is going on. In these rare moments people sometimes come together and try to figure it out.
If you take these things into account then this forum can work for you. At the end of the day you have to make your own analysis.
