I’m just someone who browses the Money Discussion Forum. I’m not in the WhatsApp group people keep mentioning. I stumbled across this thread and some comments made me laugh so I read the lot. Here are a few objective personal thoughts.
I’ve noticed quite a few posts read as if they’ve been put through a translator. I reckon there’s a fair chance some people are posting because of competition between rival groups.
Everyone keeps saying they’ve made decent profits buying the stocks recommended by that WhatsApp group. My view is if those picks genuinely deliver a very high hit rate and solid returns on proper regulated platforms like eToro or Hargreaves Lansdown the people making the calls could just make money from their skill. So what would be the motive to scam? As for the ramping accusation that’s even funnier. Most here sound fairly new to markets and might not realise how much capital it takes to ramp a listed share. A handful of people on a thread aren’t going to move a stock’s trend.
I’ve also noticed that anyone who voices a different view gets slapped with the in on it label. I know the moment I post this I’ll be called the same. I couldn’t care less. If the aim is to police the thread by sticking labels on people and shutting down opinions then you really don’t understand us Brits.
