What are some of the better message/chat boards for various stocks? i know yahoo finance is pretty decent ... any other ones? And what i mean by decent is that it has tons of messages posted .. not necessarily good ones, but many messages nonetheless.
Ragingbull.com and Yahoo are "great" (in terms of numbers of posts) for specific stocks... But if you are looking for the smartest group of traders and the most insightful comments, Elitetrader.com is easily the most superior board...
If you really need to read stock boards, then you are probably hopeless. Make your own decisions from the chart and do not rely on any one or any outside source.
