* POWERFUL BASHERS GAINING POWER ON SI? PLEASE READ! * *** Will SI Members threaten to demand refunds in what has become a rapidly degenerating posting board? Spamming on threads is driving many public posters away and angering many! Some stock threads have gone silent. Why is SI tolerating this behavior? Will class actions lawsuits really begin? Read on. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THEM? The most aggressive seem to be JANICE SHELL and GRAYSTONE, but others include KASHA, POET, 246810, JEFFREY S. MITCHELL, MR. FORTHRIGHT, MARCOS, CATLADY, and others. Most appear together on the above thread and on many other threads on SI. (also see the threads: TAKING IT IN THE SHORTS, FBN, FBNA, THREAD MORONS, DEATH THREAT THREAD, JANICE SHELL FOR PRESIDENT, or any of the stock threads they have invaded, namely CYGS, the most recent. Good place to start: exchange2000.com If you are not aware, this is a group of people that go from thread to thread claiming to have NO VESTED INTEREST in a stock, but always attempt to spread fear and doubt without any conclusive proof. They spend hundreds of hours a week occupying threads that they have no vested interest in (or so they say). They, like the infamous Stock Detective, who some feel are one and the same, have targeted 5-10 companies recently that are obviously no where near the worst companies they could have found. Even Janice Shell, who seems to be the ringleader, admits (see below) that a couple of these stocks are not worthy of their wrath..so why did they go after them and bash? Read on. HOW DOES THIS GROUP OPERATE? They always pick stocks that have had a large run up. Then they take turns attacking stock threads, so as not to exceed the 20 post per day limit that SI has. But they spend hours and days, even weeks on certain threads attacking, but always claim they have no vested interest in that stock! It is almost beyond bizarre. They attempt to wear people out and so frustrate them that the thread soon bears no resemblance to the peaceful place it once was. Instead it becomes a angry, frustrating place where information on the company takes a back seat to personal attacks. So what is their motive for doing what they do? THEY CLAIM THEY ARE "HELPING EXPOSE HYPESTERS". NO WAY. HERE'S WHY They always maintain that they are exposing people who hype stocks, yet they always seem to come onto stock threads whose stocks have run up big (usually 500-1000% or more). Do you see the fallacy of this claim? If they were truly trying to protect others "from being taken" by hypesters and pump artists would they not come into the stock thread BEFORE the stock has a chance to run and before smaller investors jumped on the bandwagon? Because, isn't it usually the small investor buys near the highs, and the hypester at the lows? Should they not attack these threads before these stocks run up? The hypester, if one existed in the first place, has already made "his or her "killing" in the stock they target. No, it is the small investor they hurt most often. That is why there is some much anger directed at them. In fact on the DEATH THREATS thread they claim that many people have threatened their lives. Death Threats against them? If true, this is sad and troubling. It makes you wonder why people even stick around SI anymore. The climate has turned ugly. If you are lucky enough to have a stock that runs up, you are likely to be paid a visit soon by some members of this "group".
