I Just Crawled Out From Under a Rock I am somewhat embarrassed to admit at this advanced stage in my career that I have no clue as to why some people post a dozen or more messages a day trashing or bashing a company's stock.
Some posters talk about paid bashers. Is this for real? Who does the paying?
Please do not try to tell me that Dundee or Fidelity enter into some kind of secret agreement to have some kid with no job spend all day putting down a stock so that they can pick up a few extra shares from the gullible on the cheap. So what's the deal?
All I can think of is a few delusional guys who have bet against the market in a small way (shorting is way overhyped IMHO), actually think they can promote selling by the timid.
Anybody know the answer?
