You are a well respected participant at boards. You know better than to issue a statement like yours. Bashers are a myth. The basher's "confession" is a hoax. The basher's "handbook" is a hoax. These constant claims of bashers are beyond hoax. These claims are deceit effected by pump and dump criminals; a typical impotent tactic. You are not one of those criminals and know better. A decade back, there were some "paid bashers" leading to this idiotic urban market myth. Yes, there were some litigations for bashing, but very few. All of this took place many years back and this basher myth has existed and grown ever since. This myth is a tool, is a tactic employed by criminals to fool the naive, to fool the ignorant, and there are lots of both in the markets. As trivia, these litigations for bashing, amounted to nothing more than persona agenda or simple stupidity. There has never been an organized and orchestrated attempt at bashing any stock. Follow the money. There is no money to be made in bashing. There is lots of money to be made in shorting, and many falsely believe or are fooled into believing there is a connection between shorting and bashing. Shorters specialize in companies with weak fundamentals and specialize in known scam stocks. There is no need to bash to effect shorting. These are companies which will fall in value, without any help. Shorting is clearly more complex, such as shorting specific sectors which display weakness, shorting based on scandal and shorting based on both political and international events. Why are the markets down of late? Korean atomic bomb. Shorters do not need to bash. Shorters do not need any help such as this myth of "paid bashers" so ignorantly spread and repeated for a decade and more. Follow the money. There are great profits to be made in pumping and dumping. This is well evidenced by so many paid pump and dump companies literally all over the net. Pumpers outnumber mythical bashers, a hundred to one. Many years back, when online trading first came about, inherently crooks moved in to effect every scam possible. An early scam is a notion shorting could be made more profitable through bashing. There were some attempts at this, at bashing, but these attempts proved to be quite fruitless. Criminals discovered good companies cannot be bashed, which led to this idiocy "bashers rule" about bashers never bashing good companies, a rule now twisted into a tool of deceit by pump criminals. Having quickly figured out bashing does not pay, years back, criminals latched onto another idea of deceit. This new idea is pumping and dumping. Criminals learned very fast there is lots of money to be made by pump and dump. Again, follow the money. Where is most litigation money spent? Obvious answer, most, almost all litigation is related to pumping and dumping. The number one financial crime perpetrated on the public, today, is pump and dump. This is well evidenced by review of SEC litigations and review of public class actions. This myth of bashers is nothing more than a tool of deceit used by pump and dump criminals. When I read the many insulting others by claiming, "You are a basher" I instantly think, "That person is very ignorant and most likely a criminal." Look around at boards. The predominant activity, by far, by an extreme, is pumping and dumping. Bashers are a myth. I am intellectually insulted by the many who prey upon others by falsely claiming bashing. I am more intellectually insulted by those claiming those who are sincere and truthful in their articles to be bashers. All of this is pure deceit by pump and dump criminals. Those who claim another is a basher, are very clearly, insultingly clear, lying to readers. This is insulting because those who claim others are bashers, those liars have assumed all readers are stupid, all readers are fools; very insulting. Pump and dump criminals assume you, yes, you the reader personally, to be an ignorant git. That is what criminals think of you, the reader. A sidenote for annoyance of you pumpers. How are some banished from boards? Pump and dump criminals use private messages to organize a concerted effort to file falsified complaints against select people who counter pump and dump deceit. Pump and dump criminals arrange to have people banished so truth can be suppressed. Pump and dump efforts only succeed when truth is suppressed. Part of this suppression is deceitful claims of bashing, and organized efforts to have seasoned and truthful traders banished from boards. Purl Gurl - two posts remaining for this day
