Paid Professional Bashers

Golden Rule:IGNORE THEM ...learn how professional Bashers are paid:
When you REPLY to Bashers you give them an opportunity to earn appox. 5-7 dollars.
Even if their not getting paid ignore them. You will be more productive in the end. The service agreement they enter into with their employer states their messages will be monitored for content, profanity, lies, etc. but Overseers and the like don't have the time to check all their Bashers messages.
Only occasional spot checks are done. Those who manage the Basher will generally read the headlines to see if a Basher is replying to other posters by name. That tells them the Basher isn't just "posting blindly" or repeating the same message over and over since they won't pay for those.(True to form a Basher will put the bite on anyone, even their unscrupulous employer).
A Basher will attempt to milk three to five replies per post at one to two dollars each. This way the Basher spreads negative influence to as many stockholders as possible. A Basher will create this discussion thread because it takes less time reading more messages than is necessary. This ultimately allows the Basher more time to post and make money. In general, NEVER ENGAGE A BASHER. Make them read all the posts and think up ways to enter the discussion.
NEVER ENGAGE A BASHER; if you do so then YOU BECOME THE BASHER’S AID! If you feel compelled to challenge a Basher do so without mentioning his/her true alias in your response. This will make it hard for the Basher to use your post as a revenue stream. Read the news, do your own homework and make your own decisions. Get real time quotes and follow the stock for a couple of weeks. Due Diligence is key here. Know that there will be a time when the stock runs up which will be followed by the Bashers and those that missed the boat. The Bashers will trash the stock by saying such things as "it's a Pump and Dump" and "the company is lying" and deceiving.
Their goal is to scare off newbie’s and potential new investors by "shaking" you out of your shares. Take the time to confirm your DD, trust your own judgment and believe in yourself, pick your point of return or loss and live with it. Don't listen to hype or Bashers trust your own judgment. Live by the rules you have created.
"The problem with ignoring them is that if no one challenges their lies then the some people may be mislead. I feel it is better to engage and show them to be what they are so that others will not mistake them for having some 'special knowledge' about a company which obviously they do not have.""
But if every one ignored them, they would lose their entertainment and in a month they will be gone. So in that month a few people may lose.
If we keep responding, then they affect people for years.
JMO...If you put them on ignore life is sooo much easier.
If you don't want to put them on ignore, then cut and paste what I posted and respond ONLY with that. No other words. Smart people will understand. And the less unfortunate people won't. In the end the less unfortunate will be better off saving their money rather than investing. Every one has to find their thing. For some it’s not the stock market.
"The amount we learn has a direct effect as to how much it cost us!"No offence to any one! We all need to learn; sometimes it’s the hard way
