Spotting a stock ramper


Behavioral Red Flags
• Excessive Enthusiasm: Repeatedly calling the stock a "sure thing", “moonshot”, or “next Tesla” with no balanced view.

• Discrediting Skeptics: Aggressively attacking or dismissing anyone who posts critical or cautious opinions.

• Overposting: Floods the forum with multiple daily posts or replies about the same stock.

• Copy-Paste Spamming: Posts the same message or paragraph across multiple threads or platforms.

Content Red Flags
• Unrealistic Price Targets: Claims like “$1 to $100 in 3 months” without sound justification.

• Lack of Substance: Focuses on hype phrases rather than financials, fundamentals, or credible analysis.

• Cherry-Picked News: Only shares positive press releases or outdated articles to pump sentiment.

• "Inside Info" Claims: Says things like “trust me, I have a friend who works there” or “big news coming soon” without proof.

• Constant References to FOMO: Phrases like “don’t miss out,” “last chance to get in,” or “buy before it’s too late.” "tick tock tick tock"


‍‍ Suspicious Community Behavior
• New or Low-Karma Accounts: Often created recently with no posting history outside that stock.

• Coordinated Support: Multiple users suspiciously echo the same hype, possibly sockpuppet or bot accounts.

• Pumping in Multiple Forums: The same username or message found across Reddit, **promotion blocked**, **, Twitter, etc.

Financial Misrepresentation
• Misleading Metrics: Quotes outdated or incorrect revenue, earnings, or share count.

• Pretends DD is Done: Claims “deep due diligence” but offers no original or sourced analysis.

• Downplays Risks: Ignores dilution, debt, lawsuits, or bad earnings reports.
