>>>all the bashing they do really only hurts the small investor if the stock price is affected negatively.<<<< So it is the "bashers" who drive the price down??? Look at the stocks that are being hyped. No fundamental financial detail, no earnings, no current reporting or full disclosure. But a dream of a miracle cure. This is why the stock can go up drastically on the hype. And the wisdom you mentioned concerning the rocket men buying low and the small investor buying high is misleading. Who's shares are the small investors buying? The Rocketmans? And as he is dumping his shares on the "small investor", of course the price goes down. You must have missed this point. So therefore the only issue driving the price down is the supply of stock for sale. And who is liquidating this supply? Well of course, the individuals you mentioned who bought low, hyped the stock, and are selling high. You only need to look at who wins to understand the motivation. jmt

*****OT****BUT A MUST READ****** Colin Thank you so much. That was the best DD ever done on this thread. I am (as I'm sure many people will) going to make SI aware of his post. I will not use HIS name though. I hope I did not offend anyone with the DD comment. There has been some great DD done here on EDII, but you have to admit, the subject of EDII itself, has kind of been put on the back burner. It seems the more pressing issues have become the bashers and the content of their posts. We all knew before, but now it has been pronounced, what these people were doing. CAN WE ALL MAKE A PACT "TODAY" TO "NEVER AGAIN" RESPOND TO "ANYTHING" THEY POST? Jim

***OT*** Several discrepancies in your post: wisdom does not exist in any measure in what Dave Gore said therefore "reasonable argument" is specious there isn't any hit squad (been watching movies about the Mafia lately?) and you repetition and acquiescence of what amounts to Gore's malicious wishes and dreams simply equates to the lowest common denominator; suggesting an incredible lack of reasoning, logic, and the capacity to utilize those qualities in that regard

Really, Colin, I'd thought better of you. Dave Gore is well-known as a small-time hypester. Go take a look at #reply-5185218 in which Graystone analyses what Gore did on the ISDN thread. You will perhaps enjoy his many screamer posts, and all those hints of Great News just around the corner. I suggest you also look at the responses to his recent post at "Welcome to Silicon Investor", and especially at "Georgia Bard's Corner". The Bard very clearly explains to him why we generally take an interest in a stock after it's begun to run, but Dave doesn't want to listen. Perhaps you won't, either. What I'm chiefly interested in is challenging hypesters. And I obviously don't know what they're setting up as their next P&D until they begin to do it. As the Rocketeers have so ably demonstrated, it's quite easy to talk up the price of a stock, and it can be done very fast. Interestingly, I am finding that the most hysterically hyped stocks are often those of companies I come to believe are genuinely problematic.

<<Regulators warn of scams in bullish stock market WASHINGTON, July 23 (Reutera range of investments, from gourmet coffee shops and Internet service providers to ostrich meat. Indeed, regulators in recent weeks have initiated actions in 29 states ranging from fines to criminal indictments against boiler room operators who are looking to cash in on the muscular market, the NASAA statement said. The states brought 64 enforcement actions against 36 firms offering ''microcap'' stocks, 27 against firms offering foreign exchange investments and 15 against other boiler room operations. ''It's one of the bigger sort of coordinated actions we've announced,'' NASAA spokesman Marc Beauchamp told Reuters, adding that most of them were undertaken in the last month. NASAA said it was originally seeking out microcap fraud, that is, fraud involving small, sparsely traded companies. But then its probe expanded when it realized that microcap fraud was ''just a piece of a larger problem -- boiler room sales of investments,'' Missouri Securities Commissioner Douglas Wilburn said in the statement. The Securities and Exchange Commission, the government agency in charge of protecting investors, welcomed the announcement of the microcap enfoctors and lawyers as well as retirees, NASAA said. The group warned potential investors never to buy anything over the telephone from a stranger without thoroughly checking out the investment and the firm selling it. And, regulators said, do not feel pressured into buying immediately. ''If it's a really good investment, it will be a good investment next week or next month -- after you've done your homework,'' Wilburn said. >>
