Remember, HYPSTERS NEVER Hype A GOOD STOCK.
Good companies don't need hypsters.
Check the boards for stocks with no potential. They always have Hypsters. Hypesters only hype stocks that have little hope moving up or have excellent potential to fall in value. Hypsters work to hype the price up to unload their free
position at the expense of others or to help another hypster unload her/his shares.
Lesson 2:
HYPSTERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES.
New startup companies always have a few bits of good news. The hypster will post this over and over again.
Unsophisticated hypsters will try to freshen up old news with a new date or by-line in an attempt to fool you.
Lesson 3:
HYPSTERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY.
They try to pump you up. They comment on everything, every other post, and can answer every question. THEY KNOW IT ALL! There is no negative comment they won't attack. They
try to control the board. Interested investors may have to confront the hypsters or they will appear to the newbies as being the people with all the information. This is never
accomplished by posting well researched data on the company, but only half truths and constant lies. Hypsters always try hard not to engage the Intelligent Investors in direct repartee. REMEMBER - INTELLIGENT INVESTORS... ALWAYS ADDRESS THE HYPSTERS ALIAS!
Lesson 4:
HYPSTERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE.
Never trust a Hypster. The truth on startup companies is that they make mistakes. What new company hasn't?
The hypster will compare your issue to a another companies,
financials - deals - management, etc., trying to lure you into making an Apples to Oranges comparison. Remember each company is unique and while it is prudent to seek out established indicators, do so with care and don't take someone else's word for it. Strive to come up with at least a "six-pack" of indicators so your vision of the state of a company is not tied to a single barometer. Not doing so is tantamount to going to a Race Track and betting on the "Pretty Brown Horsey".
HYPSTERS WANT TO WHISPER IN YOUR EAR - PLANT A SEED OF HOPE, AND HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOT SAVVY ENOUGH TO RESEARCH THE TRUTH ON YOUR OWN. This is how they achieve their greatest success. HOPE + GREED + LAZINESS = BET THE FARM!
This is your investment... work for it, protect it and don't panic on the words of very shadowy figure that "has your best interest in their heart". Consider that one factor: Someone you have never met, is not a member of your family, is now, out of the goodness of their hearts - GIVING YOU FREE ADVICE(that you didn't ask for). It's a no brainer. They have motives $$$$$$$$$$$$.
Lesson 5:
Hypsters know YOU CAN'T VERIFY THEIR STATEMENTS
That's why they make the vague statements they do. Most of the trash companies they are hyping are OTC:BB companies that don't have to file audited reports. They rely on you being too lazy to research their droppings other than to scan the board for others opinions. This is particularly dangerous when you consider that hypsters work in packs and often validate and back up each others nonsense with what appears to be "innocuous and unsolicited" verification by comrade hypsters. Let's face it, we are all conditioned to "believe" everything we see in writing. If others by virtue of their "posts" also confirm this belief, then we are subconsciously doomed to swallow the hook, line and sinker...
Hypster - 1 Honest Investor - 0
Lesson 6:
The Hypsters 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:
Hypsters play on your lack of patience. You have held a stock for a while. You hope it will be a big stock someday, but the HYPSTER CAN GET TO YOU ADD TO YOUR POSITION BECAUSE YOU ARE ASSURED THAT "THIS WILL GO TO THE MOON ANY DAY NOW". That's when the Hypster is best. You are tired. You have forgotten the goal for the stock was to sell it in one week. The hypster is bothersome, so you buy more it on a good day. Some others also jump. Then you gain confidence and return to let everyone know how glad you are. Then you turn into a semi-Hypster as well. THE HYPSTER HAS WON,AND GAINED A NEW ALLY - YOU!
Lesson 8:
PUMP THE PRICE UP.
That is the Hypster's job. The truth is not important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on the board every day. They are trying to lure the newbies that are just investigating a stock. They are trying to wear down the faithful interested investors on the board and attempt to gain free reign and control.
A HYPSTER HANDBOOK:
Do not underestimate a Hypsters influence on a stock. The Pro's are good at what they do and what they do is profit from your losses. Below is their "hand-book" so to speak. Learn from it or you will be donating your hard earned money to them!
Rules for Successful Hyping -
1. Be anonymous
2. Use 10% fact. 90% suggestion. The facts will lend credibility to your suggestions.
3. Let others help you learn about the stock. Build rapport and a support base before initiating your hyping routine.
4. Enter w/ humor and reply to all who reply to you.
5. Use multiple ISP's, handles and aliases.
6. Use two (2) or more aliases to simulate a discussion.
7. Do not start with an all out skam of the stock. Build softly.
8. Identify your foes (interested investors) and the boards "guru" Use them to your advantage. Lead them do not follow their lead.
9. Only Hype until the tide/momentum turns. Let doubt carry it the rest of the way.
10. Give the appearance of being open minded.
11. Be bold in your statements. People follow strength.
12. Write headlines in caps with catchy statements.
13. Pour it on as your position gains momentum. Not your personality.
14. Don't worry about being labeled a "Hypster". Newbies won't know your history.
15. When identified put up a brief fight, then back off. Return in an hour unless your foe is weak in reasoning powers.
16. Your goal is to maximise the momentum of the run, and to take the company and the Hypsters to the stars; be arrogant and consistent.
17. Pump the dreams of profits, the company and the stock.
18. Attempt to subdue questions tthat create critical thinking. Statements to reinforce facts.
19. ALWAYS LIE, NAME CALL or USE PROFANITY.
20. Encourage people to call the company. 99% won't. They'll take your word for claims made. If they do call you can always find something that is accurate in how they report their findings.
21. Encourage people to believe Press Releases. Encourage them to call the company. They won't out of laziness. Even if they do, most officers of OTC:BB companies won't tell the truth, because they don't have to.
22. If the companies history/PR's are positive constantly point to that. Compile a list of this data prior to beginning your efforts.
23. If the price rises attribute it to the PR, temporary mass reaction, the market, etc. Even the stock itself.
24. If other posters share your joy, play on that and share theirs too.
25. Always discount low volume, even when it is.
26. Three or four aliases can dominate a board and wear down the interested investors.
27. Bait the Interested Investors into personal debates putting their focus/efforts on them personally and not the stock or facts. Divert their attention from facts.
28. Never promote other stocks that would-be investors can turn to instead of the one your Hyping.
30. Do not fall for challenges on the "values" of what you are doing, it's a game and you are playing it with your own rules.
Your are a:
Grade "A" Hypster: If you post lots of old news, respond to all negative posts with a positive side. Never respond to being called a Hypster, never post on another board with same alias. Can spend up to 80 hours a week hyping a stock.
Grade "B" Hypster: Very good way with words, always claims to be your "friend" taking the interested poster into confidence, never posts on another board, spends about 60 hours a week.
Grade "C" Hypster: Spends less time than the others but is somewhat effective and gets a C grade due to getting excited when Hypsters rules say to get excited, spends about 40 hours a week.
Grade "D" Hypster: Needs to learn the basics about being convincing when making a positive statement. Spends a good amount of time working the stock, maybe 20 hours a week.
Grade "F" Hypster: A complete idiot, most readers are not convinced he knows anything about stocks in general. The type that says a stock "rules", but gives no rationale, shows up every so often but no regular schedule. Also, ends posts with "GO XXXX, GO"
LEARN ABOUT HOW HYPSTERS WORK: For instance: did you know
that some hypsters are paid?
Golden Rule
IGNORE THEM FOLKS...learn how professional hypsters are paid: When you REPLY to hypsters you give them an opportunity to earn appox. 5-7 dollars. The service agreement they enter into with their employer states their messages will be monitored for content, profanity, lies, etc. but Overseers and the like don't have the time to check all their hypsters messages. Only occasional spot checks are done. Those who manage the hypster will generally read the headlines to see if a hypster is replying to other posters by name. That tells them the hypster isn't just "posting blindly" or repeating the same message over and over since they won't pay for those.(True to form a hypester will put the bite on anyone, even their unscrupulous employer).
A hypster will attempt to milk three to five replies per post at one to two dollars each. This way the hypster spreads positive influence to as many stockholders as possible. A hypster will create this discussion thread because it takes less time reading more messages than is necessary. This ultimately allows the hypster more time to post and make money. In general,
ALWAYS ENGAGE A HYPSTER. Make them read all the posts and think up ways to enter the discussion.
ALWAYS ENGAGE A HYPSTER; when you do so then YOU BECOME THE
HYPSTER'S ENEMY! When you feel compelled to challenge a hypster never mention his/her true alias in your response. This will make it hard for the hypster to use your post as a revenue stream. Read the news ,do your own homework and make your own decisions. Get real time quotes and follow the stock for a couple of weeks. Due Diligence is key here.Know that there will be a time when the stock increases which will be followed by the hypsters and those that think they "missed the boat". The Interested Investors will question the stock by saying such things as "it could be a Pump and Dump" , or "the company could be lying and deceiving". The goal is to snag newbies and potential new investors by "dumping" their shares on you.
Take the time to confirm your DD ,trust your own judgement and believe in yourself. Pick your point of return, or gain, and live with it. Don't listen to hype, but to interested investors. Trust your own judgement. Live by the rules you have created .
HOW TO IDENTIFY A HYPSTER
1. Check the "Born on Date" hypsters create identities on a regular basis. Rarely do you find a hypster with older "Created On" date. So click on the Identity icon for more
details.
2. Take the time to look at the hypster's history of Posts. Go to other boards and see if their is a pattern to the theme of the posts. hypsters rarely waste time trying to blend in with "interested investor" posts, unless they are cultivating a new uninformed assistant.
3. When did the hypster show up. Hypsters rarely show up when activity is in at a Lull. They show up when activity up/down.
4. Hypsters never answer direct questions except with another question.
5. Hypsters do work in teams (sometimes themselves as a team). So be suspicious of someone showing up and automatically having a Shadow to converse with who supports their argument.
6. Hypsters always select "an argument" that can never be resolved by research.
