Taff posted this link on another thread and I think it may be more applicable here... ragingbull.com I've edited the bb stock references... Regarding bashers (what/why/how) A good friend sent me some info on bashing (as in how to) and how these low life people work. Do not underestimate their influence on a stocks "run" not so much the stock itself. The Pro's are good at what they do and what they do is profit from your losses. Below is their "hand-book" so to speak. Learn it. Despite the hypsters saying their presence is a good sign, it isn't! Their presence spell the beginning of the end for that run. 1. Be annonymous 2. Use 10% fact. 90% suggestion. The facts will lend credibility to your suggestions 3. Let others help you learn about the stock. Build rapport and a support base before bashing 4. Enter w/ humor and reply to all who reply to you. 5. Use multiple ISP's, handles and aliases 6. Use 2 or more aliases to simulate a discussion. 7. Do not start with an all out slam of the stock. Build to it. 8. Identify your foes (hypsters) and the boards "guru" Use them to your advantage. Lead them do not follow their lead. 9. Only bash until the tide/momentum turns. Let doubt carry it the rest of the way. 10. Give the appearance of being open minded. 11. Be bold in your statements. People follow strength. 12. Write headlines in caps with catchy statements. 13. Pour it on as your opponent/ stock gains momentum. Not you. 14. Don't worry about being labeled a "basher". Newbies won't know your history. 15. When identified put up a brief fight, then back off. Return in an hour. 16. Your goal is to limit the momentum of the run. Not tank the company or create a plunge in the stock. 17. Kill the dreams of profits, not the company or the stock. 18. Use questions to create critical thinking. Statements to reinforce facts. 19. DO NOT LIE, NAME CALL OR USE PROFANITY. 20. Encourage people to call the company. 99% won't. They'll take your word for claims made. 21. Discourage people for taking the companies word for anything. Encourage them to call the company. They won't out of laziness. 22. If the companies history/PR's are negative constantly point to that. Compile a list of this data prior to beginning your efforts. 23. If the price rises blame it on the hype or the PR, Temporary mass reaction, the market, etc. Anything but the stock itself. 24. If other posters share your concerns, play on that and share theirs too. 25. Always cite low volume, even when it's not. 26. 3-4 aliases can dominate a board. 27. Goad the hypsters into personal debates putting their focus/efforts on you and not the stock or facts. 28. Promote other stocks would-be investors can turn to instead of the one your bashing. WHY BASHERS BASH 1. They want to buy/re-buy more at a lower price so they try to artificially bash it down knowing their efforts are temporary at best and the stock will rebound soon. THEY ARE THE PRO'S, 2. They bought in at a higher price and must "average down". Lets say they own shares at .50 and they need to sell soon but the stock is stuck between .25 and .35 how do they sell without a big loss? They bash the stock down to .15 or so, they buy more shares at the new low price, combine them with the other stocks at .50 and they now have a new "average" price of .33 for their whole block. That's an easier and faster exit price than their original .50 They are not the PRO bashers. They are the idiots with bad timing. But what they do can work if they're dedicated enough.
