More guru tactics......

They love to respond and argue with anyone that doesn't agree with them. They have to maintain control so they'll many times have one of their friends on SI attack the poster who disagrees with them so they don't always look like the bad guy. They have to keep their following loyal so that their plays get lot's of action raising the price so that they can get out first. This is very true with momentum gurus.

They constantly post headers in CAPS to catch attention with the stock they are hyping and do so on multiple threads. Catchy phrases like Zoom, or I'm in etc. are common. They do this enough but not so much where SI suspends them for spamming.
