A quiet chat is a good stock20 Jul 2018 23:06
Its quite strange how many people refer to how quiet the chat is. IMHO a quiet chat is a good sign I would rather be in the quietest markets. Think about it like this the more people who are bought in to a stock, the more stops that will be clustered together, commonly known as herding. This can then lead to excessive variance in price as irrationality kicks in amongst investors, which can make hanging onto a good stock physiologically difficult.
There are individual uk listed stocks that have been extremely strong as of late, hardly selling off when the overall market is down and rallying hard when the markets up. Yet when you check the chat on these theres no chatter at all, complete silence which results unlovely smooth price action.
