Be Careful Who You Listen to...

Folks - BO does the best it can to isolate good commentary from not so good, and save you the pain of following bad advice. But, BP can't possibly catch everything...

Fundamentally, the forte of BP is introducing newbies to the game. A newbie can be someone just researching the game, or someone who's got 1 or 2 deals done. The issue with this is that most of the advice on BP forums is dished out by folks with 1 or 2 deals...Can you put this together, or do I need to spell this out further?

Please be careful about the things you read here. Caveat Emptor

Experienced folks, anything to ad? @Darren Sager?

What amazes me is the number of people coming here for advice that haven't even been willing to put in a ten minute Internet search first.
