Mr December, I think most investors are now are far more savvy regarding pumpers and bashers than they were several years back.
From personal experience, I sold some stocks several years ago after reading (on Yahoo’s board) all the standard issue language used by manipulators. When those securities didn’t drop but rose I became very suspect of every poster until they had a proven history of fair and balanced posts. I think almost every poster has had the same type of experience.
As evidenced by this board, the vast majority of posters are very decent people who are willing to synergistically research the positives and negatives on a stock. No stock is perfect so you seek to balance its value. When someone such as our latest purveyor of balderdash continually berates PBLS, it loses most of its effect. Repetition may reach a larger audience but it dilutes the message. Despite his ranting, the stock has gone up. In reading the board’s responses to him, it is evident, he has little or no respect.
Don’t get me wrong, I laughed out loud when reading Shizoku’s slam dunk on his efforts but virtually everyone here has him figured.
Best to you,
Airdale
