PAID BASHER GUIDELINES. 1. Be anonymous 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 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.
