Some things to keep in mind about Bashers>>>Found this read posted on the SD board by Nelson>>>
oh yes I forgot to mention...did you know that some Bashers are paid when you REPLY to them? It gives them the opportunity to earn appox. 5-7 dollars for each reply! Golden Rule: IGNORETHEM ...
Theservice agreement they enter into with their employer states theirmessages will be monitored for content, profanity, lies, etc. butOverseers and the like don't have the time to check all theirBashersmessages. Only occasional spot checks are done. Those who managethe Basher will generally read the headlines to see if a Basher isreplying to other posters by name. That tells them the Basher isn'tjust"posting blindly" or repeating the same message over and over sincethey won't pay for those.(True to form a Basher will put the bite onanyone, even their unscrupulous employer). A Basher will attempt to milkthree to five replies per post at one to two dollars each. This way theBasher spreads negative influence to as many stockholders as possible. ABasher will create this discussion thread because it takes less timereading more messages than is necessary. This ultimately allows theBasher more time to post and make money. In general, NEVER ENGAGE ABASHER. Make them read all the posts and think up ways toenter thediscussion. NEVER ENGAGE A BASHER; if you do so then YOU BECOME THEBASHER,S AID!
If you feel compelled to challenge a Basher do so without mentioning his/her true alias in your response. This will make it hard for the Basher to use your post as a revenue stream.
Read the news, do your own homework and make your own decisions. Getreal time quotes and follow the stock for a couple of weeks. DueDiligence is key here. Know that there will be a time when the stockruns up which will be followed followed by the Bashers and those thatmissed the boat. TheBashers will trash the stock by saying such things as "it's a Pump andDump" and "the company is lying" and deceiving.There goal is to scareoff newbies and potential new investors by"shaking" you out of yourshares.
Take the time to confirm your DD, trustyour own judgement and believe in yourself, pick your point of return orloss and live with it. Don't listen to hype or Bashers trust your ownjudgement. Live by the rules you have created
