Bluegoose. Unfortunately the market is rife with accumulation strategies. It's the way of the world these days. These parties are very unscrupulous and by creating fear they make people doubt their investments. Often they appear on discussion forums, writing with a air of authority or apparent technical knowledge which regular investors are not in a position to disprove.

They are usually quiet easy to identify in that when you click on their username, you will see that they never post on any other stocks - often a telltale sign that the account belongs to somebody who has multiple accounts. What better way to strike the fear of God than if the message is reinforced by what appears to be different parties?

Also these parties pop their heads up and become quite aggressive when the price begins to quickly move away from where they were expecting/hoping/planning it would move. Maybe a short needs to be covered? Or a large order is having difficulty being filled?

A good trick to outing some of them is to ask them why they pay so much attention to a single stock without regard to ANY of the other 3000 on the stock exchange. This will often be met with silence.
