This is an easy way to tell the difference between frustrated investors, and someone who is manipulating the stock.
Frustrated investors don’t post a lot. They’ll make a comment like, “Wow, I can’t believe this.”
Or, “I don’t understand what’s happening.”
They express mostly frustration instead of negativity. Their comment is a believable and human reaction to a sudden disaster.
Paid basher are the opposite.
They post a lot, and it’s all negative.
How often do you personally post on a stock message board? Once a day? Once a week? Never?
Paid bashers are sometimes posting 10, 20, 30 times a day. Or more. Usually on a single stock, but sometimes across multiple tickers. Their posts are frequent and basic.
The more someone posts, the more likely they are to be trying to influence sentiment.
If you click someone’s ON STOCKHOUSE profile and see they’ve posted thousands of bearish stock ideas…they’re likely a manipulator.
