In the bubble days, message boards were one of the most popular features on the Web for those investors who loved tracking stocks along with those investors who had nothing better to do but post message after message on these boards.
The boards have become notorious in the investment community because they provide the means for investors who want to hype stocks and fuel rumors. Many have blamed the boards for contributing to the bubble and the crash. Obviously, you should never believe everything you read on the boards. Any moron can post information on one of these sites. That said, the message boards can be a useful resource for learning about a company (assuming you can later confirm the facts) as well as understanding investor sentiment about a company or news that has been released about a company. They can also be hilarious or extremely annoying.
But we're also seeing now that message board can move individual stocks, often taking on hedge funds who short stocks. Just make sure you understand the risks!
