My uncle said he only trusts stock tips from a forum where people talk about their pet fish

We were having coffee last Tuesday and he told me his best investment this year came from a thread about aquarium filters. He said the real money talk happens when people stop trying to sound smart and just chat about their hobbies. It made me look at the big finance forums differently, you know? Now I wonder if the most honest advice is buried in the weirdest places. Has anyone else found a solid tip in a totally off-topic thread?

Wait, aquarium filters? That's the part that gets me. I can maybe see a tech forum or something, but people talking about cleaning fish tanks? I need to know what company it was, because that just sounds so random. Your uncle might be onto something about honest talk in weird places, but I'm stuck on the fish thing.

Ever get a good lead from a gardening group? My best side hustle came from a thread about tomato stakes, of all things.
