I fully believe "Paid Bashers" are an urban legend created by overly optimistic longs to rationalize bashing, and downturns in the stock. (how could anyone bash my stock? answer: they are paid so that the people that they work for can BUY THE STOCK LOWER).This reinforces the bullish sentiment of the long, and gives the long an easier to rationalize reason for a stocks downturn... What garbage! Paid bashers are just another excuse that some people use for a stock that is undder performing. I first saw that "article" about 6 years ago.
Bashers are generally people who bought the stock, lost $$$, and want to take out their anger on the company that "lost me my money" , again, in this day and age of failure to take responsibility for your own actions, bashing itself, and creating the myth of a paid basher are just another two ways people can rationalize a poor investment decision. Its great, it works for the angry money loser (basher) and the hopelessly optimistic long that cannot rationalize why his/her stock is so far down.
But paid bashing is real. so is Santa Clause, pro wrestling, we will be greated as liberators, and we will disclose the share structure very shortly.
