I would say an effective demoralization strategy would be used to cause actual shareholders to either A) (best case for MMs) call into their broker to have the shares removed from their account for a write off (since of course its not coming back anyway… I might as well take a write off)
Or B) It leaves shareholders so frustrated that by the time the stock does come back to trading. They are so eager to sell and trigger happy that they sell very early into run… thereby leaving the vast majority of potential gains on the table after already holding through the worse of the pain.
These boards are heavily populated commission based reply guys imo. Easy to spot
