Cav, 1_D_T, and I have exchanged messages in the past. I consider the poster to be a hypester on the short side and have told him so. I don't have time to look up the posts right now, and some of them were PMs, but you can be sure he knows that I consider him to be a hypester. IMHO, the hypesters on the long side, and especially the ones on the OTC:BB threads, are much more dangerous to the small investor than the "short" hypesters. You, Cav, and your buddies, (BIG DOG, et al) are what this thread is about. Have fun, Phil

Cavalry, Okay. I looked at this guy's posts. He's a day-trader, mostly shorting regular stocks, not OTC-BB. His style differs radically from what we look for in hypesters. While he is cheerleading his thread and his self-professed results, he's really not in any stock long enough to be considered a true pump 'n dump artist. He may be front running the people he posts to by covering his shorts before telling others to do so, but there's no real evidence to support that premise. Day traders are a different breed from other investors. I did note that he spammed that same message across 8 different threads, but he's no threat to your stocks or your style. And he's not a threat to other investors either. He's posting pretty much what he says he is. No ulterior motives that I can see. KJC
