Are there paid bashers? This gent is probably a bit too flourishey in his language but those who defend hedge funds and naked shorts are very quick to deny that posters can be paid to bash. This despite the fact that hedge funds now account for over 1/2 US equity trades. But of course these same people claim posters are paid to tout on message boards <ggg>

A con monkey is a con artist who is paid to post on targeted yahoo stock boards in order to manipulate the retail investor.
They have 1,000s of yahoo IDs in their scam arsenal. They work as teams and receive scam instructions from their hedge fund boss. In addition, they can scam more than one board at a time and they do work in shifts to provide 24 hours 7 days a week yahoo board coverage. The third shift or graveyard is usually thinly covered and weekend shift coverage earns them premium pay.
If you know that over 98%+ of the post here are just con monkey postings, it's fun to follow their post, threads and IDs on just how the con monkeys coordinate their scam. They have basher IDs, pro company IDs, expert IDs, new investor ID, doctor IDs, combination of long & short investors IDs, Irish IDs and etc .... you get the point.
Carefully monitor who the posters are here, all the different IDs, usually many IDs with embedded numbers in them are a tip off a board is being manipulated, and notice this board never ever goes dead from lack of postings day & night.
Moreover, every time their is a question or statement someone "ALWAYS" appears out of thin air to answer ! Amazing ? No ... not if you understand the big picture of the scam !!! This technique allows the scam artist to create long threads of scam postings which is just one of many tools in the con artist's tool bag to manipulate the retail investor here.
Furthermore, the con artist (con monkeys) love to have IDs that argue with each other, political talk (i.e. hate Bush post), they even have class clown IDs too. Occasionaly they'll will even bring out a female ID to the scam for their own amusement. These scam ploys tend to add more realism to the overall feel of the scam.
Finally, their "expert IDs" are continuously posting facts, figures, latest news, rumors and analyst updates. They are very well versed in the science or technology of the company/industry. This is primarily used as bait to attract and retain investors to this board. It is usually accurate and timely information but not always. Remember, their job is to manipulate you in overt and covert ways.
Now you know the dirty little secret here, sit back and enjoy our con monkeys.
