Paid bashers Here is a small excerpt from 'confessions of a paid basher'. You see the same types of posts on many boards and the frequency is a dead giveaway. I reckon this goes the other way too with paid pumpers. Good luck longs. Haha, just kidding, we are sitting on a mountain of gold. We don't need luck, all we have to do is wait.
I was a Serpent basher, because I am known for effective bashing based on solid facts and truth. I was paid a base wage of $18 an hour for my services. I was given a $1.25 bonus for every decent quality post over 100 per day as well as a monthly bonus of $100 for every penny the stock had dropped from the previous month. I was also paid a bonus for bashing on weekends. While this may not sound like much, I made a decent, though dishonorable, paycheck plus a nice Laptop with free wireless internet connection.
