A forum user told me to ignore the hype on a certain stock last year

They said the price was based on pure speculation, not the company's actual numbers. I listened and avoided buying in, and it dropped 60% over the next three months. Has anyone else had a piece of advice from a forum that saved them from a bad move?

Wait, they told you to ignore the hype and you actually listened? That's the real shocker here. Most of us just dive right in.

Ever try to ignore it and just get bored? Hype is half the fun sometimes.

Yeah, totally. I tried that with the last big game release. Turned off all the trailers and didn't read any previews for a month. When I finally played it, everything was a surprise... the new mechanics, the story twists. It felt way more personal, like I was finding it all myself instead of just checking off a list of stuff I already knew was coming.
