Beware of ARU BB''s resident basher
This is a notice to all new ARU shareholders and/or all new reviewers of this Bullboard: Antoninus is the resident Basher here.
His M.O. is to create and feed uncertainty of the Ecuadorian political situation. He builds this up then switches the subject to the entirely bogus possibility that Aurelian won’t be taken over and will therefore have to advance on their own with massive stock dilution. He constantly pounds ‘what ifs’ into our heads and responds to almost ANY positive posting. He says he owns the stock; he does not. His resilience is unbelievable!
Here is a shortened summary of what professional bashers/Antoninus will do in his own perverted way to put doubt in the minds of interested parties. If you doubt me, review his history – discretion is his forte. All of this as gold has completed it's exceptionally short but necessary correction and is on a new momentum rally.
Advanced Basher:
Will join the message board early and actually "pump" the stock with positives; this basher is very intelligent, has the facts of the company, actually helps longs with Due Diligence and generally gets the confidence of the stockholders. Then, when the stock hits their price, the tone will change and they will start asking longs to check into this and check into that. The seeds of doubt are being planted. This basher will then start using all the tactics listed on this page to create seeds of doubt. ALWAYS LOOK AT THE PROFILE OF A PERSON YOU SUSPECT. ASK WHAT STOCKS THEY'VE "SUPPORTED" IN THE PAST AND CHECK OUT THE MESSAGE BOARD. An honest person will have a positive track record that can be followed. I strongly believe that a contrary view is needed but this person is out to steal your money and does it by deception and creates fear after gaining confidence! BEWARE, this is the most clever basher and the hardest to spot.
Posts lots of old news, responds to all positive posts with a negative side. Never responds to being called a basher, never posts on another board. Can spend up to 80 hours a week bashing a stock.
BASHERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to wear you out. They comment on everything, every other post, and can answer every question. THEY KNOW IT ALL! There is no positive comment they won't bash. They try to control the board. True longs may have to address the bashers or they will appear to the newbies as being the people with all the information.
A typical trick of an advanced basher is to propose that there is a potential "problem" because "we" don't have the facts on a particular subject.
Bashers play on your lack of patience. YOU have held a stock for a while. You knew it will be a big stock someday, but the BASHER CAN GET TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOUR GAIN. That's when the basher is best. You are tired. You have forgotten the goal for the stock was to hold it for one year. The basher is bothersome, so you dump it on a bad day. Some others also dump. Then you get mad for your loss and return to let everyone know how mad you are. Then you turn into a basher as well. THE BASHER HAS WON, AND GAINED A NEW PARTNER TOO, to be able to get in at a great price.
BRING THE PRICE DOWN. That is the basher's job. The truth is not important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on the board every day. They are trying to hit the newbies visiting the board. They are trying to wear out the longs on the board. They do whatever it takes to wear the longs out.
I will be posting this entry repeatedly, because I’m sick of the battles he draws good and legitimate posters into. To all other legitimate posters, feel free to cut, paste and repeat this message also.
Best of luck to all,
