Institutions have been adding shares, so it’s not insane to imagine that some of these institutions may realize the correlation between forum sentiment and SP. At this point, they may hire a team of paid-per-post bashers to spend most of their time hounding the stock to weaken sentiment to drop the share price. This gives better prices and ROI to the institutions buying, and the amount they pay per post gets heavily outweighed by the gains when the SP reverses. Again, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the paid-per-post bashers are hounding this. It may explain why some of the posters seem to have no lives outside of the forums. They have lots of time to sit on the AVH forums away from friends and families to reply to every bullish comment with something (any insignificant thing they can think of) to weaken sentiment. So you can call me crazy, but I called out this same thing back in 2018-2019 before the SP ripped for a multibagger. This is called tree-shaking, but I get the feeling that I’m replying to one of the tree-shakers.
