When I click on @PeteWisdom I see that he is suspended.
No, I'm not suggesting they're the same person. What I am suggesting is that people ask questions. Questions like:
- Is it possible that HotCopper posters such as @PeteWisdom who sang the praises of HML and BHD early on were not genuine retail shareholders?
- Is it reasonable to assume that a person found to be engaging in this practice would have their HotCopper account indefinitely suspended?
- Is it possible that people pumped up HML and BHD in settings other than HotCopper?
- Is it possible that under-cover pirates lurk on HotCopper even today?
- If the answer to all of the questions above is "Yes", what does this mean for HML, BHD and JBL?
