Poll: Has social media changed investing...

Has social media changed investing for the better, or worse?


With information sharing to social networks, the level of information we know about CEO's, board member's, influences by twitter posts, consumers able to start social campaigns against companies, products and people, or for them...


What say you, are we better or worse off as investors in this social day of age? And why?

This poll should be changed to "Private".

Social media has been disastrous in many ways. Negatives far outweigh positives.

Need to let your comment saturate my brain. All along I’ve just figured I wasn’t aware of the many positives but you may well be right.
