Twenty-five years ago, I sat at my computer in my home office in Toronto, researching a New York-based, publicly traded toy company. Its name escapes me. Not important.
In those days, pre-Reddit and StockTwits, message boards were the place you went to get the scuttlebutt about companies you were interested in. I was browsing the toy company’s message board pre-market when I started seeing strange comments unrelated to the company’s business.
