TGIF Roacheros!
Today your Senorita is going to tackle the myth of the so called paid basher and for an extra treat I am going to open up a big can of w hoop a.. on a certain article that has been the bible for a long time now, “Confessions of a paid basher.”
“How much are they paying you to bash this stock?”
Who “They” are? I don’t know.
I hear this one a lot in pinkyland and I am sure that you have as well.
Don’t get me wrong, there are bashers all over every finance forum that you can find but, THEY ARE NOT PAID!
In my experience there are many types of bashers and there is 1 type that all newbie traders need to pay attention to.
The first one is the, “I lost money on this P O S and YOU WILL TOO!” basher.
These bashers tend to post everyday, all day, for weeks, months and YEARS. Yes years, on a particular stock’s board.Now I don’t have a PHD in psychology and I am merely a bottom feeding cockroach playing the OTCs looking for the next feast, but I know crazy when I see it. If you are posting on a message board 24/7 and flooding it with “Timber.”, “SCAM!”, “GTFO” for YEARS, you are INSANE! Usually the stock is dead but these tinfoil hat wearers will spend all of their time bashing instead of trading. Don’t pay attention to these nutjobs.
Another type of basher that is common on the pinks are the ones that want to get in cheaper or they missed the original run.
These people are usually flippers that for some reason think that they can move the market with their lame, “P O S ALERT!”, “STOCK IS GOING DOWN!”, “ABORT MISSION!” postings. These leeches usually come out during a run. They sold too soon and want their original entry price. When a stock is on an uptrend and it happens to go down a few ticks, you will see these bass tards out in full force running around acting like chicken little. These bashers aren’t worth paying any attention to either.
The short sell basher.
These guys shorted a stock at the high because they realize that the stock is overbought and want to cover as low as possible. Yes you can short pink chit stocks, you just have to know the right brokerage firm. The short sell bashers can range from just giving people a heads up to thinking that they can move the market with their lame bashing attempts as well. You might want to keep on eye on these guys but usually they tend to be ridiculous as well
