One of the important things to remember is that you never know who is on the other end of an account, nor their intentions. Sending out PMs to people you don’t know needs to be done with a spice of caution, even more so if it’s related to investments. Normally, it should be wiser to keep the discussion public (i.e. on a thread), where others can oversee and warn you if things get weird (besides getting more diverse input). The prior applies even more if there is ever a PM mentioning that you should invest in such or such, or directly in the person himself.
