what is this anti-stamp campaign?

to me it is pretty obvious that trading on bitfinex carries more risks than btc-e or bitstamp.

Don't you know, we evil alternate exchange users are payed to badmouth the dominant one because our providers are jealous of their success, we brought down gox and stamp is next. Mwhahahahaha!

btc-e is actually quite useable if you disable the trollbox.

I would be a bit cautious about stamp now. They are following a similar pattern as all other failed exchanges. First they get hacked and then volume starts to decline. Who knows how much they really lost. Maybe they will have a (trustworthy) audit and prove they are solvent. Until then I would avoid them like the plague. If we start seeing complaints about withdrawals not going through (fiat or bitcoin) and unresponsive support, then we know something is up. They could still correct the situation, but they have started down that path.

Finex, if you're a good trader. You can make bank on leverage. But only if you're a good trader and know how to limit risk, set stops, etc. Would not recommend to newbs.

Hehe true, the market makers regularly gun for them, so I refrain from using them myself.

The Kraken is low volume but had some sort of audit.

Isn't it time to switch from stamp to some other exchange?
Stamp's volume is going down, so big slippage, it's fee is higher (0.2-0.5% vs 0.1-0.2% at finex). And it's been hacked.

If switch, to which one? Are other exchanges even more risky? Hacking, goxing, ban, ...
