Interesting read about bashers of stockhttps://boards.fool.com/paid-stock-bashers-lp-13645949.aspx
Some examples:
Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER BASH A BAD STOCK.
Watch the board for stocks with no potential. They never have any bashers. Bashers only go after stocks that are going upwards or have excellent potential to go up. Bashers get left behind, so they want to bring the price down to be able to get in at a great price.
Lesson 2:
BASHERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES
Lesson 3:
BASHERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY.
Remind you of anyone?
"A Basher's Handbook" in article is also interesting.
