You stated you weren't interested in my trading style yet you ask me goofy questions about whether I am a stock promoter or financial adviser in terms of getting paid specifically to render opinions. I am neither, although in real life I do advise when asked. Online I do give opinions. Online I do give advice freely and for free.
I would ask you the same thing. Are you paid to bash stocks, directly or indirectly. Do you trade in conjunction with others. Do others trade in association with you.
Yes, these are equally as goofy questions I have to admit. But, looking at your history, one sees virtually nothing other than generic type criticism and posts about other posters.
As you ask if I advise, here is some free advice. As I posted to you before, if you intend to be more successful in your bashing career, either as a professional or an amateur, you might want to think about being a bit more objective. Most, who read your posts, know, by looking at your history, that you merely criticize, often posting about other posters rather than the stock itself, and, in my opinion a violation of TOU of this website.
You further state that you don't give advice. Your posts are negative. In essence, you are saying your advice is to sell. I don't have a problem with that. Just don't try to weasel out by saying you are not giving advice. If you want to categorize others who post about a stock as giving positive advice, you, in fact, do the same thing by giving negative advice. Again, I have no problem with your doing the same. Just don't get on a high horse and claim that you are somehow superior because your history shows almost nothing but criticisms of others or generic bash.
I do believe that message boards have become infested over the past few years with professional bashers, who work for hedge funds and possibly MM's and who intend to mislead readers. These people clearly are giving advice. I have no problem with their posting. I just believe that they should be posting the truth about their associations. |
