well its part of human nature to promote ones cause---but
many go overboard

read and memorize the 1st 4

In the stock market, there are five basic 'thieves' who'll steal your money right from in front of you, 6 that'll leave you broke for sure:

Dilution (the selling of new shares by the company) (1)

Manipulation (primarily performed by the Market Makers, but not entirely) (2)

Paid Promotions (biased professional attempts to encourage buying of an issue)(3)

False Presentation/Representation (fluff PR, outlandish projections and claims, etc.) (4)

Pump & Dump (usually associated with excited promises of major gains. Cousin to Paid Promotions and False Presentation/Representation)

Short Selling, Naked Shorting Selling (NSS) (the act of selling borrowed shares first, then buying back later, hopefully and usually at a lower pps. NSS is the act of selling shares that have never even been borrowed, ie; air-shares)
