You hear all this yik yak about paid bashers all the time. There are bashers, thats for sure, but are they PAID bashers??? Except for maybe being able to pay themselves if their games work they are paid but thats about it. 99% of all this paid basher stuff is nothing more than urban legends and myths.
Back when on line trading first began getting big I do think there was quite a bit of this kind of activity but those bashers were NOTHING like the idiots you see today. Back then these guys blended in with the board very well. They were an integral part of it. They bashed the stock and people didn't even realize it until it was too late.
Today you see clowns on their home computers going to message boards and getting everyone all riled up and they are so transparent that nobody pays them any attention. Except to maybe fight back with them, or call them some choice colorful words. Does anyone think a company would actually PAY someone to behave like this???? Not a chance. They are ineffective. They all behave the same way. You can spot them from a mile away so no company that is struggling to begin with is going to take even more money and pay some jack ass to go on a message board and incite a riot.
It just doesn't happen folks. Unless you see someone that is for the most part very well liked by the other posters on a board but tends to slip in more negative things about the stock than positive things, then "maybe" they could be someone who is there for an ulterior motive. But don't go getting all worked up about stocks being beat down to nothing by legions of paid bashers. It just ain't happening.
Lately these companies are doing a good enough job of hurting the stock themselves....they don't need to pay anyone to help!!!! And then when they do get things going people whack the hell out of it so fast the runs hardly last any time at all. The playing field has changed in the last few years and you have to trade these stocks very well to make any money in most cases.
"Sort of" is such a harmless thing to say. "Sort of". It's just a filler. "Sort of" - It doesn't really mean anything. But after certain things, "sort of" means everything. Like after "I love you" or "You're going to live" or "It's a boy".
