Good Point FG. ALso I might add that more in line to what they are screaming about is not P&D because Pump means some sort of lie or deception or whatever like baseless projections.
Take some P&D newsletters are not spinning like in the case of MIDL that was halted and I went before the SEC. They disgorged the profits of the real element for "Scalping" because the information was accurate and the projections had an uinderlying basis but the person sold into his massive newsletter distribution.
But on the other side of the coin like with Janice Shell, she provides a solid negative underlying basis and does not use selective bias. Her initial posts always contain the underlying basis. It is the attacks that erupt when she shows up.
Same as on the other side. If you are tagged a promoter then you are classified and thus no matter what you post it is flamed as being false or hype.
There are two sides to this that screws the investors ... Heck in one stock I discover the IR was posting as an individual investor trying to sucker people and was selling the whole time and he lost in federal court.
The thing about all this is if you have proof take it to the SEC and if you don;t you just cybersmear someone. In other cases there are fee based fighting for those who pay those fees.
Bottomline is facts are hard to get at on the internet which is why every one novice to savvy shold always evaluate the information.
But as long as their is competition for sheep, people wanting stock, and so forth there will always be the other side of the coin to have to deal with. Stereotyping never works.
All this P&D, hype, tout and whatnot is so overly used and rarely can it be supported but most negatives are discovered to be an the false post a lot of the time.
Just seems bias to me if people do not look at each situation.
