There major risk and little gain
to "paid bashing". What happens when "bashers" show up at a board? The board gurus shoot them down. drown them out. The followers listen
Contrast that with a couple board gurus sending out a few PM's about big news coming out tomorrow.
The bashers spend all day arguing with morons with no effect on the stock price. The gurus (promoters) can multi bag the stock in a day with a good promotion and support from the company with a couple good PR's
All risk. Little gain
And as was mentioned before, the MM's aren't people. There is no one at the MM firm staring at the screen looking to screw you. It's an algo analyzing order flow designed to be flat by days end. That's all a MM is
( and like Janice, no one has ever offered anything to me to bash. One offered me money to promote. I've been involved in two cases involving prison time 4 involving straight enforcement actions. And one last month blew his brains out)
#1). You have money. Other people want it. All of it!
#2). You want easy money. So does everybody else. They'll get it, too....yours! (and all of it!)
#3). You tell yourself you're smart. You won't lose your money. Fact: Other people are smarter,
