The tactics of the negative hypester are well-known. If you have ever been involved in the early stages of a surprise stock with real potential, you have experienced these people. The names change but the modus operandi does not: 1) Little or no personal information on SI profile. 2) Repeated questions which ignore any plausible answers. 3) Tries to make light of/ridicule people who provide those plausible answers to the repeated questions. 4) Presentation of "facts and figures" some which are deliberately misleading. Other numbers are portrayed as factual when, in reality, no one on SI could know the actual figures. 5) Appearance of the negative hypester when one might expect a significant short position in the stock. 6) Negative hypester holds no apparent stock position in the company, but works very hard to warn/scare others who do. 7) Negative hypester spends an inordinately large amount of time on the SI thread bashing a specific stock, thus demonstrating his/her lack of sense and credibility. After all, with over 9000 stocks to research and post on, why spend so much time on one you don't own? Do your own DD and seek positive interaction with others who do the same. If the stock is in a good company, no amount of bashing or fear-mongering can hold it down for long. If it's a lousy company, the negative hypester probably wouldn't be here anyway.
