Bashers on OT...Bashers are all the same -- about as reliable as a career politician.
They make outlandish claims that draw your attention, but fail to deliver on substance. They make perverse associations that are often unrelated & without merit. They provide distorted & unconventional half-truths, express unsubstantiated opinions, and proclaim that all contrary opinions are foolish, misguided, and even laughable.
Ah, not to mention creating multiple aliases, and then patting each other on the proverbial back in acclaim of their skulduggery. I've observed countless strategies employed over the years -- most are ineffectual -- but sadly they still seem to have some degree of influence on the unintelligent retail investor...
Of course, their strategies tend to exert more influence on smaller penny stocks, and those trading on lower volumes. To them it's all about flipping pennies and causing fear or panic selling to drive down their short positions, then quickly accumulate at the bottom for the rise up.
Morally, its a grey area, unless they're posting blatantly false or misleading information, but what a sad existence... pouring so much time & effort to bottom feeding.
Don’t trust people whose feelings or advice changes with time. Trust those whose feelings and resolve remain steadfast when times are changing.
Seasons greetings to all the longs!
