Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER Bash A BADSTOCK.
Check the boards for stocks with no potential. They never have any Bashers.
Bashers only go after stocks that are moving up or have excellent potential to do so.
Bashers work to bring the price down to either increase their position at the expense of others or help a Short make their bones.
And the GOLDEN RULE of course -
NEVER ENGAGE A BASHER !
LEARN ABOUT HOW BASHERS WORK: For instance: did you know that some Bashers are paid?
Golden Rule:
IGNORE THEM .
Learn how professional Bashers are paid: When you REPLY to Bashers you give them an opportunity to earn $$$$$
The service agreement they enter into with their employer states their messages will be monitored for content, profanity, lies, etc. but Overseers and the like don't have the time to check all their Bashers messages. Only occasional spot checks are done.
Those who manage the Basher will generally read the headlines to see if a Basher is replying to other posters by name.
That tells them the Basher isn't just "posting blindly" or repeating the same message over and over since they won't pay for those.
(True to form a Basher will put the bite on anyone, even their unscrupulous employer).
A Basher will attempt to milk three to five replies per post at one to two dollars each.
This way the Basher spreads negative influence to as many stockholders as possible.
A Basher will create a discussion thread because it takes less time reading more messages than is necessary.
This ultimately allows the Basher more time to post and make money.
In general,NEVER ENGAGE A BASHER !
Make them read all the posts and think up ways to enter the discussion.
NEVER ENGAGE A BASHER; if you do so then
YOU BECOME THE BASHERS AID!
If you feel compelled to challenge a Basher do so without mentioning his/her true alias in
your response.
This will make it hard for the Basher to use your post as a revenue stream.
Read the news, do your own homework and make your own decisions.
Get real time quotes and follow the stock for a couple of weeks.
Due Diligence is key here !
Know that there will be a time when the stock runs up which will be followed by the Bashers and those that missed the boat.
The Bashers will trash the stock by saying such things as "it's a Pump and Dump" and "the company is lying" and deceiving.
There goal is to scare off newbies and potential new investors by "shaking" you out of your shares.
Take the time to confirm your DD ,trust your own judgement and believe in yourself, pick your point of return or loss and live with it.
Don't listen to Bashers trust your own judgement.
