I have been watching the recent spike in interest in investing, and getting very uneasy with a majority of the things being posted. I believe they will cause a lot of financial damage in the days to come with the hard earned money thats at stake. Its easy to get sucked in with the markets rebounding the way they have recently, specifically the financials.

Please, please know what you are doing, instead of following what is being posted here. Listing  hot stocks or pointing out a certain 10k filing to work wonders for the valuation of a company  is not credible enough a reason. There are plenty of self-help books and resources available.
