<To All, yays and nays> This has been going around the different threads: How To Hype/Slam a Stock: 1. Be anonymous, of course 2. Use 10% fact and 90% suggestion in one's posts. Facts give credibility, while suggestion does the "sell". 3. Let others "help" you learn about a stock thereby developing rapor and a support base. 4. Use multiple handles, but develop a unique style for each. 5. Use multiple ISPs. 6. Start each new handle slowly to build acceptance. 7. Occasionally, use two handles to "discuss" an issue. 8. Do not show all your cards at once when slamming or hyping a stock. It's a war - it's ok to lose a battle as long as you save enough ammo to win the war. 9. Know your enemies - they will end up being your best weapons. 10.Only slam until the tide starts to turn. Let doubt carry the stock back with the tide. 11.Hype only until others have caught the "fever", then only enough to keep the fever going. 12.Maintain an appearance of being open minded but a slant in either direction is acceptable. 13.Don't appear meek. No one follows the meek. 14.Strike just as your opponent starts to gather momentum but not before or you lose your sting. 15.Don't worry if people peg you for a slammer or a hypester. The doubt/dream will remain and that's what you are after. 16.If pegged, put up a brief fight, then let them feel they've won. This puts their guard down within a few days and your other handles can take over from there. 17.When slamming a stock, the intent is to minimize its rise, not to create an instant plunge. 18.To slam a stock requires you only to kill the dream not the company. 19.Use questions to invoke critical thinking and use statements to reinforce. 20.You can be liberal in your questions but be specific and precise in your statements. 21.Don't lie. 22.When slamming, encourage research beyond calling the company. You know people are far too lazy and it's only doubt you are after, not confirmation. 23.When hyping, encourage calling the company. You can trust the company to put on a good dog and pony show. After all, they want the price up too. 24.It only takes one person to say they've called the company and everything is all right to put people's minds at ease. 25.When slamming, discourage people from taking the company's word - encourage them to seek outside proof. If the company's history is bad, point them there. 26.When hyping, point to forward looking statements often. If the company's past is bad, tell them it's a different company now. 27.When slamming, refer to missed deadlines and weak financials. 28.When hyping, if the price fails to rise, blame the MMs never suggest it's a lack of interest or weakness in the fundamentals. Emphasize all the buying. 29.When slamming, if the price rises, blame it on a temporary mass reaction to a press release rather than real interest in the stock. Point out low volume and emphasize the selling. 30.Pretend to share the same concerns by learning what they want to hear. 31.And above all else, be unpredictable.
