RE:Pumpers playbook sounds very familiarPUMPERS DO THE FOLLOWING: 1. Be anonymous 2. Use 10% fact. 90% suggestion. The facts will lend credibility to your suggestions. 3. Let others help you learn about the stock. Build rapport and a support base before initiating your pumping routine. 4. Enter w/ humor and reply to all who reply to you. 5. Use multiple ISP's, handles and aliases. 6. Use two (2) or more aliases to simulate a discussion. 7. Do not start with an all out pump of the stock. Build to it. 8. Identify your foes (bashers) and the boards "guru" Use them to your advantage. Lead them do not follow their lead. Ideally, you will become the board’s guru. 9. Only pump until the tide/momentum turns. Let doubt carry it the rest of the way. 10. Give the appearance of being open minded. 11. Be bold in your statements. People follow strength. 12. Write headlines in with catchy statements. 13. Pour it on as your position gains momentum. Not your personality. 14. Don't worry about being labeled a "pumper". Newbies won't know your history, and you are supporting their choice to purchase the stock in the first place. 15. When identified put up a brief fight, then back off. Return later unless your foe is a weak in reasoning powers. 16. Your goal is to limit the momentum of the drop. Not to make the company blast off; be subtle and consistent. 17. Kill the fears of losses, promote the company and the stock. 18. Use questions to create critical thinking. Statements to reinforce facts. THAT CAN BE PROVEN, NAME CALLING AND PROFANITY AGAINST SHORTS IS ENCOURAGED. 20. Tell people that you have called the company. They'll take your word for claims made. If they do call to verify you can always find something that is missing from their response. 21. Encourage people to take the companies word for everything. Encourage them to call the company. They won't out of laziness. 22. If the companies history/PR's are positive constantly point to that. Compile a list of this data prior to beginning your efforts. 23. If the price falls blame it on temporary outside influences, temporary mass reaction, the market, etc. Anything but the stock / company itself. 24. If other posters share your thoughts, play on that and share theirs too. 25. Always cite high volume, even when it's not. 26. Three or four aliases can dominate a board. 27. Bait the bashers with personal attacks putting their focus/efforts on you and not the stock or facts. Divert their attention from facts. Show them the facts from a "different angle." 28. Bash other stocks that would-be investors can turn to instead of the one you’re pumping. 30. Do not fall for challenges on the "values" of what you are doing, it's a game and you are playing it with your own rules.[/quote]
