Shoot,
I received this from a friend today, he said I could post it on this thread. Im sure many
of you know who it is.
Yes Ive unbookmarked this thread, and still I am a coward for not coming out and
saying all that I have heard and know.I'm not alone it has happened to many people,at
other times. The one good thing that has come from all of this is hopefully, it will never
happen again. I am sure that there will be warriors on this thread, who will fight for the
truth. Shoot,you are a warrior of that magnitude, there have been many that have come
forward in the last couple days. Im sure there are many out there that wish they could.
Its not easy...

How can I know if someone on an investment site is a false prophet or not? Here are
some signs.
1.A false prophet is very knowledgeable about the stock he follows and is always
bullish.
2.A false prophet frequents only one thread on an investment bulletin board, or may
follow a group of stocks from a certain sector...(example, desert dirts on Silicon)
3.A false prophet will sometimes encourage you to take possession of your shares, to
stop the Market Maker who is supposedly shorting the stock.
4. A false prophet tries to play the Market Maker as an evil force who wants you to
sell your shares to him at a lower price.
5. A False prophet encourages you to hang in there as your losses mount.
6. A False prophet is receiving payment from the gods of the company, or has a large
position at a low price in that particular security...
7. A False prophet has a following of people who praise him for his expertise. Many
times one or two followers that frequent the same thread are personal servants of the
False prophet. He gives them insider information, so that they can take up their
positions before press releases occur.
8. A False prophet talks of future stock prices that are unrealistic. The prophet quotes
prices of $20.00, $50.00 or $100.00 a share. He loves to play on your emotion of
greed.
9. A False prophet has a group of Followers that are blindly loyal. Before they know
it, the false prophet has dumped his shares while they are buying, and he then offers
them up as a sacrifice....They are left holding an empty bag.
10. A False prophet suddenly disappears from a thread, and moves on to another
stock, either under a new alias, or by the same title.
How do I find a true prophet, or a real friend, who is not interested in himself or just
promoting a particular stock?
1.A true prophet frequents many different threads on a particular investment bulletin
board or talks of many different stocks daily on a given trader thread..
2.A true prophet can be both negative and positive on a stock.
3.A true prophet is retired or has another full-time job
4.A true prophet shows a humble spirit, and is always trying to help out others.
5.A true prophet is right 60% of the time on his picks and wrong 40% of the time.
