I see SEC threats are used at SI just like RB. I am curious why so many want to be the stock savior? They threaten others, cause undue problems and then whine in every post. Then on top of that they say they don't own the stock. Sheeezzzzz

We all should understand everyone has a motive for posting on a thread.

1. If they are looking for true DD they post one or two posts asking for DD then set back and watch for posts containing DD posted in response.

2. If a looking for DD poster, all of a sudden, turns into a poster that threatens others calling them pump and dumpers, promoters, paid promoters, insiders, company shills etc. they are there for a reason. They are surely not there for DD like they claimed when they first showed up.

3. Losers: These are posters that might have lost on a stock in their previous loser life. LOL Normally they find a stock when the move is at the top and they buy. This happens all the time in OTCBBs. Matter of fact it happens in most stocks categories. Its ironic that big firms put out buy recommendations and every Tom, Dick and Harry rush to buy then a few weeks later the buy reco plummets after the pazaz wears off.

I see attacks on about every thread I visit in the "Losers Posting" category. Its is especially evident of attacking when someone like Joe Copia or Willy Wizard's names are mentioned on a thread. These leaders post about stocks they buy and others buy at all levels but eventually they are slammed for supporting the company. Someone is always unhappy.

4. Longs that are not long $$$$s are found everywhere. Most are wantabees but are involved with games like Investment Challenges that are found all over the internet. These are posters that are as bad as they come. Because of some stupid little investment game they tout stocks and rip them apart because no real money is involved.

5. True Longs: Great people that believe in what they invested in and are willing to hold long term. I wish them all the luck in the world. Sad to say they normally hold to long and are holding at a loss most of the time.

6. Long Side Trader: Now these shareholders are making money. They will trade the bounces and normally average out as a stock moves up and average in as it moves back down. After a couple nice moves in a stock they are trading the moves with profits. Everyone should trade part of their portfolio, maybe 50% on each move and hold 50% in case the stock makes a huge move they are still involved.

7. Paid Basher??? I still have not seen anyone arrested for this. Are they out there? Hummmm maybe but I would like to see proof. Now we have seen a couple MM firms get in trouble lately for something close but I have yet to see an actual "paid basher" caught.

8. Bashers: Well I guess everyone that is negative is titled a "basher" I have even been guilty at times but have had my reasons. I do have a hard time when real stocks have a hero that continually bashes the stock. I see this type of poster on every thread I visit. I still think he is the "loser" that made a stupid decision. I think this type of poster needs to understand he was the loser or stupid buyer and should look in the mirror before he blames others for his mistakes. Nobody forced this guy to buy the stock he lost on. These posters always need someone to blame for their bad decisions.

Sorry about the long post. I know I could have wrote and reread everything and cleaned it up to make more sense but you get my point.

BOTTOMLINE IS MOST OF US HAVE DISCLAIMERS BUT MANY ARE TO STUPID TO READ THEM. So except you own responsibility for you own actions.
