The Truth About Bashers: Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER BASH A BAD STOCK. Watch the boards for stocks with no potential. They never have any bashers. Bashers only go after stocks that are going upwards or have excellent potential to go up. Bashers get left behind, so they want to bring the price down to be able to get in at a great price. Lesson 2: BASHERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES. New startup companies always have a few bits of bad news. The basher will post this over and over again. The stupid basher will try to make the old news a bit fresher to try to fool you. Lesson 3: BASHERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to wear you out. They comment on everything, every other post, and can answer every question. THEY KNOW IT ALL! There is no positive comment they won't bash. They try to control the board. True longs may have to address the bashers or they will appear to the newbies as being the people with all the information. Lesson 4: BASHERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. Never trust a basher. The truth on startup companies is that many mistakes are made and losses happen. The basher will try to make you believe all startup companies make a profit, release financials every quarter and all aspects of the business run smoothly. THIS IS NOT TRUE. THE BASHERS LIE TO YOU. Startup companies go years without profits, financials and good business. Lesson 5: The bashers know YOU CAN'T VERIFY THEIR STATEMENTS. That's why they make the statements they do. Lesson 6: The bashers PLAY ON YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. They can lie about information and you couldn't know the difference. Lesson 7: Bashers play on your lack of patience. YOU have held a stock for a while. You knew it will be a big stock someday, but the BASHER CAN GET TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOUR GAIN. That's when the basher is best. You are tired. You have forgotten the goal for the stock was to hold it for one year. The basher is bothersome, so you dump it on a bad day. Some others also dump. Then you get mad for your loss and return to let everyone know how mad you are. Then you turn into a basher as well. THE BASHER HAS WON, AND GAINED A NEW PARTNER, TOO. Lesson 8: BRING THE PRICE DOWN. That is the basher's job. The truth is not important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on the board every day. They are trying to hit the newbies visiting the board. They are trying to wear out the longs on the board. They do whatever it takes to wear the longs out

The Truth About Hypsters: Lesson 1: Remember, HYPSTERS NEVER HYPE A GOOD STOCK. Watch the boards for stocks with real potential. They never have any hypsters. Hypsters only go after stocks that are not going upwards or have no sustaining potential to go up. Hypsters want you to think you'll get left behind, so they want to run the price up to be able to sell at a great price. Lesson 2: HYPSTERS ALWAYS BRING UP NEWS THAT YOU HAVE YET TO HEAR. Real companies always have real news. Great PR Coming!!!! The hypster will post promises like this over and over again. The stupid hypster will try to make the same old promise of news a bit fresher to try to fool you. Lesson 3: HYPSTERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to wear you out. They comment on everything, every other post, and can never answer any solid questions. THEY KNOW IT IS ALL A LIE. There is no negative comment they can refute. They try to control the board. True longs may have to ignore the hypsters or they will get suckered in to thinking that the hypsters are the people with all the information. Lesson 4: HYPSTERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. Never trust a hypster. The truth on startup companies is that many mistakes are made and losses happen. The hypster will try to make you believe that salvation is simply a matter of time and you should ignore all of the facts regarding lack of technology, management, financial strength, customers, etc. THE HYPSTERS LIE TO YOU. Startup companies go years without profits, financials and good business. Only the ones with real products and management will survive and make money for early investors, however. Lesson 5: The hypsters know YOU CAN'T VERIFY THEIR STATEMENTS. That's why they make the statements they do. Lesson 6: The hypsters PLAY ON YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. They can lie about information and you couldn't know the difference. Lesson 7: Hypsters play on your lack of patience. YOU don't want to miss the next Microsoft. They tell you it will be a big stock someday, so the HYPSTER CAN GET TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID to MISS A CHANCE AT MAKING YOUR GAIN. Lesson 8: BRING THE PRICE UP. That is the hypster's job. The truth is not important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on the board every day. They are trying to hit the newbies visiting the board who don't know what bull has been posted time and time again. They are trying to find new suckers on the board.
