RE:RhetoricFound this interesting article, MISTERFB.

Here are some parts of the article:
"Basically, it’s a Boiler Room much like the one in the movie of the
same name. The idea behind my group is to bash the price of a
company’s stock down low enough to where the group of investors who
retained our company’s services can buy the stock really cheap and
perhaps even take it over all together.
There are approximately 70 people at the company divided into several
groups. My group, consisting of 5 people, ...
... ... ... . ..."
"...There are three types of bashers ...:
Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner. An Advanced-level basher (also
known as a Silver Tongued Devil) would spread false or misleading
information about the company.
They would deal in facts, countering every longs post with articles, news reports and opinion surveys that gave a negative impression about the company." "An Intermediate-level basher (also known as a Serpent) would try to
weasel their way into the confidence of longs and create doubt using
rumor or innuendo.
Finally, a Beginner-level basher (also known as a Pitchfork) would attempt to create confusion in the room by distracting other posters with satire, name calling and pointless arguments.
The idea was to make sure no serious discussion of the stock could take place. A Pitchfork was usually a basher, but not always."
"... 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.
… Each group (usually five people) was made of three
beginners (two who would bash and one who would hype), one
intermediate and one advanced level basher. ...."

Does this explain why so much bashing on peeny stocks exist?
Be aware.

Its not going to go done well if Poet pulls this off. Y'all might want to read up on penny stock basher psychology and how to interpret the real messaging and motivation.
