I am just reading about bashing and this is what I came across: "A basher's handbook" :)
https://cdn.ceo.ca.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1dr223l-Anatomy%20of%20a%20Basher%20-%20Do%20and%20Don%27t.pdf if you don't have time to read the whole thing I'll copy paste few lessons for you:
Lesson 1:BASHERS NEVER Bash A BAD STOCK. Check the boards for stocks with no potential. They never have any Bashers. Bashers only go after stocks that are moving up or have excellent potential to do so.
Lesson 6: The Bashers PLAY ON YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. They can lie about information and you won't know the difference (unless you have done your own DD on the company and know the truth and facts).
Lesson 7: Bashers play on your lack of patience. You have held a stock for a while. You knew it will be a big stock someday, but the BASHER CAN GET TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOUR GAIN.
Lesson 8: BRING THE PRICE DOWN. That is the Basher's job. The truth is not important.
Now look at how many bashers have appeared on DM board recently and draw your own conclusions :) The way I see it, we are just about to ride! Enjoy it and remember there is also a kickass Datametrex Investors Party at the end of this rainbow ;)
