Beware The Naked Man That Offers You His Shirt
I've spent many years at the business of investing in penny stock. I've always tried to ignore negativity as a valid due diligence tool. Mainly because it's retrograde to my own system which in part, uses a list of X out of ten positive due diligence factors. Over all those years of studying I've formulated two very relevant and relatable mathematical rules with respect to negativity.
1) The severity, volume, and frequency of negative posting is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the situation. Ergo Garibaldi has stumbled upon an elephant and will be shooting the lights out to define it. Someone(s) is/are in full knowledge of that and quite afraid for whatever reason. Short position perhaps ?
2) The individuals posting negatives tend to be of the less than up and up variety, Ergo a boiler room or back door trader who works boards with extreme frequency and as in Rule number 1, loud volume.
Consideration should be made on all boards to watch for a person or network of persons who want you to lose while they win, using subtle to extreme negativity. Sociopathic behaviour assured including a pathological taste for lies and deceit.
It's your money, be wise to the wise guys, and you shall prosper. Fall into their trap, you will be buying while they are selling.
Garibaldi is a long position for me. Therefore I have no fear of these criminals at work.
