Whilst I'm unable to substantiate this claim, as far as I can tell, no price sensitive information has ever been posted by the pumpers prior to the company announcing such (as you would expect, given ASX disclosure rules). I could be wrong, I have been known to be.

I've never seen anything posted on HC that ever results in company valuations increasing. I have seen lots of BRN conjecture and promotion touted on HC; to be expected when holders ramp up market expectations.

Paid Promoter - from hereon referred to as 'PP' - is the last resort of speculative companies when they're unable to attract paying customers organically.(always a red flag to me).

PP is literally an advertisement: get into character and beg for donations from the faithful.

PP is bottom of the barrel when it comes to attracting investors by other means. I've read analyst reports that state they opened a short position simply because they didn't like the methods used to advertise a speculative company (it was advertising on 'X for the curious amongst you ).

Handily for investors, the company figures will do the talking. As they always have. Anything else is unwanted noise.
