I have mixed feelings about the subject.
I don't like pumpers or bashers, period.
They obviously have an agenda which usually hurts longs.
They obviously aren't the normal retail investor.
They do give some evidence of what a retail investor
can expect and maybe make decisions of buying or selling.
In this case, the subject is ACMG.
I believe I am correct about a pump and dump being tried
right about now. I would expect quite a bit of shorting
to happen and drive down the ACMG SP significantly.
This in turn becomes a tortuous event for retail longs,
especially if they've bit a hand that could've helped them.
That hand doesn't get extended again and they end worse off.
A viable resource is lost and their situation is worsened.
Imagine what longs would do, right now, today, if SOLID intel
was given on Cavasin's current circumstances. Most would make
solid intelligent decisions and not question these decisions.
Now imagine that they silenced, through diatribes and personal
attacks, such a resource. They would hurt themselves, all while
patting themselves on the back, and probably led to this
destructive behavior by a basher and/or pumper.
Retail longs tend to overreact as they desperately
search for definitive reasons why their investment is sinking.
Blame is wrongfully laid where it doesn't belong.
Labels such as pumper and basher get tossed around in an
insulting and undeserved fashion. Logic and reasoning become
lost. Intelligent dialogue, genuine discussions become
casualties of conspiracies, both real and imagined.
In reality, this is part of the tragedy for retail longs.
This one reason why I believe enforcement of the IHub TOU
is an asset to any investor. It removes the frivolities that
bring too much emotion into investing decisions. It hobbles
the manipulators that prey on some investors' emotions. A
little bending of the TOU doesn't hurt, say less than 5% of
total posts. Anything more detracts from intelligent discussion, imo.
So no, bashers are not always a good sign, imo.
They tend to manipulate retail longs into holding when they
shouldn't. Pumpers then pump and dump without longs also
enjoying the benefit of getting out before things worsen.
Pumpers get the best of consequences while retail longs
end up in a worse position.
I've seen a tremendous amount of evidence to support my
opinion right here with ACMG. So I may be wrong, but it
isn't going to cost me $.
My opinion is just that, my opinion.
So make no investment decisions based on my opinion.
