The Truth About Bashers

Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER BASH A BAD STOCK. Watch the boards
for stocks with no potential. They never have any bashers. Bashers only go after stocks
that are going upwards or have excellent potential to go up. Bashers get left behind, so
they want to bring the price down to be able to get in at a great price.

Lesson 2: BASHERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE
HEARD MANY TIMES. New startup companies always have a few bits of bad news.
The basher will post this over and over again. The stupid basher will try to make the old
news a bit fresher to try to fool you.

Lesson 3: BASHERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to wear you out.
They comment on everything, every other post, and can answer every question.
THEY KNOW IT ALL! There is no positive comment they won't bash. They try
to control the board. True longs may have to address the bashers or they will appear
to the newbies as being the people with all the information.

Lesson 4: BASHERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. Never trust a basher. The truth on
startup companies is that many mistakes are made and losses happen. The basher will
try to make you believe all startup companies make a profit, release financials every
quarter and all aspects of the business run smoothly. THIS IS NOT TRUE. THE
BASHERS LIE TO YOU. Startup companies go years without profits, financials and
good business.

Lesson 5: The bashers know YOU CAN'T VERIFY THEIR STATEMENTS. That's
why they make the statements they do.

Lesson 6: The bashers PLAY ON YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. They can lie
about information and you couldn't know the difference.

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. That's when the
basher is best. You are tired. You have forgotten the goal for the stock was to hold it
for one year. The basher is bothersome, so you dump it on a bad day. Some others also
dump. Then you get mad for your loss and return to let everyone know how mad you
are. Then you turn into a basher as well. THE BASHER HAS WON, AND
GAINED A NEW PARTNER, TOO.

Lesson 8: BRING THE PRICE DOWN. That is the basher's job. The truth is not
important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on the board every day. They are
trying to hit the newbies visiting the board. They are trying to wear out the
longs on the board. They do whatever it takes to wear the longs out
