Alien: Do you know anyone who matches the following 5 characteristics?: 1. Someone who hyper-posts on only one stock. During the promotional run of that stock, he may be posting between 8 and 20 messages daily (sometimes more). 3. Someone who repeatedly attacks or belittles others on a stock's message boards. This goes beyond the simple heated debate with one or two members who disagree with him. If you carefully read his messages, this promoter will sound like he is fighting for his life --with nearly everyone who challenges him. 4. Someone who emerges as the stock's moderator, or even the leader of the discussion group or that stock. This person is different from someone who has a genuine fundamental understanding of the company and who is also helpful. A promoter/leader will diligently answer to virtually every negative comment made on "his" message board. He will also cheerlead every positive comment and constantly make an appearance on the message board to "show" he is still the boss. 6. Someone who is nearly always the first to respond to company developments. Occasionally, someone else will beat him to it. Otherwise, he's first or a close second almost every time 7. Someone who continuously hints at upcoming company developments, unreleased company news, unannounced contracts and forecasts discoveries in natural resource exploration stocks. Where did he get his information? Usually, he is the one who starts the rumor and might often state that he heard it from someone else. 8. Someone who hypes the company during the runup and then "changes" his mind and begins attacking the company, the company insiders and the project.
