When you start off as an investor, it is likely that you will not have enough financial muscle to make a difference in the stock prices. Hence, it is logical to share your research online in the hopes that fellow investors will also see value in the stocks that you have identified.
This is one of the key drivers for some of the quality postings that you see in the stock forums from time to time. Yes, these are rare but one can still find these every now and then. These quality postings can become the initiating factors for other fundamental investors to join in and collect the stocks. To be honest, this is one of the avenues in which I search for my next investment idea.
As you become more successful as an investor, you would rather keep a low profile as you will then have enough money to make a difference just by your own purchases. By sharing your analysis with others, the stocks will likely go up in price and you will then end up paying more to buy the same number of shares. It will then not make much financial sense to share.... apart from the feeling of altruism and the desire to give back to the community.
Yes, I have shared some of my fundamental stocks in the Stocks Section of this site as examples of my investment strategy. However, I must point out that I am most unlikely to share any more stocks apart from the ones highlighted. Hence, I will disappoint those looking for free share recommendations as I am most unlikely to share any more than what I have highlighted in the Stocks Section of this website.
When the stocks that I have collected start moving upwards or downwards, please do not ask me what I will be doing with these. If I wanted to buy more stocks and if I say that one has to be cautious, it may appear that I am talking down the shares to be able to buy more. If I say bullish things and the stock rallies significantly and I then sell, it may appear that I am selling to those I have encouraged to buy.
My conscience will not allow me to sell when I have posted something bullish or buy when I have been cautious in my postings. By posting, I will find it difficult to react to any sudden changes in the share price. Hence, I will decline to comment on my list of stocks in the event the stocks move upwards or downwards. Thank you for your understanding.

....I prefer Dr to recommend some good stock for long term rather than talk about things already happen.
