I have a feeling that it would not be too difficult to create a large following in the pink sheets. Just start a thread, talk big, act bigger and name about 10 stocks or so over two weeks. Some will go up , some down. Then post news stories about the stocks. Hype like crazy. Brag about big profits and pick the spots on the charts to buy and sell....after the fact of course. I think most important though is to simply act like an ass. If anyone questions your picks, reem them a new one and belittle them big time so they don't come back. Have several other screen names that you use to continue the belittling. Whoever the person is to question you will be made to feel like a fool and leave and you can continue your little game. Suckers will be brought in by the dozens on the hopes and dreams of big money without any work. Greed kills in this game.

It is much harder to create a following through honesty, hard work and good market calls. Reason....hard work is not in the mind of penny stock hypsters, only a quick buck...and good market calls are difficult to make, but can be made through hard work and study. But who would want to put up their analysis and picks ahead of time only to be possibly proven incorrect by the market? Much easier to hype penny stocks after the fact.

Thank heaven there are threads like this one where people are willing to put their opinions on the line day in and day out, right or wrong. It is those people that have my admiration and respect.
