Many times a new ID's are created with an agenda in mind. Another example unfolding at the AG hub. We have discussed here the article about Carmax(portion posted below) and that it was an example of promotion instead of critical analysis useful for due diligence. So this new poster, named nopoo2, starts posting on the AG board and then is exposed by Golfyeti as being Rick Mills, the author of the Carmax article. The key fact here is that he didn't disclose up front that he is a paid promoter for Carmax, of whom CUU is a major shareholder. Here's the list of sponsors on the website: Now here's a page from nopoo2's post history at AG, which is essentially his sponsors list: I checked a few of the hubs and noted no disclosure. It doesn't violate the 6 rules but he would have difficulty posting here without being called to task. A paid promoter has an inherent conflict of interest when he promotes a stock on a public forum and should disclose up front.
