I find stocks to be much like poltics and religion. Take Stock ticker xyz from the abc corporation.
Some will be pitching buy, buy, buy, and others are sell, sell, sell.
I guess the question you have to ask yourself is, do I feel this particular stock is going to do well in x amount of years, and can it survive the econmoic turmoil that we are all experiencing? While history says most stocks will, it is still a matter of a sense of security with the person investing the money. Some take more risks than others, and some gain/lose more than others.
