To claim that lots of posters say positive things about stocks they own is to completely miss the point bbm. As long as posters say things that they believe to be true, then I think that any reasonable person would conclude that the poster is promoting the stock, but not ramping it. To post about a stock with information which you know is not true, and to attemt to induce others to buy or sell a stock based upon that untruth, is not only blatant ramping, but it may well be a criminal offence.
