The Question and Answer Board

[Mikey]

if i may chime in........regarding 'bashers'......i have noticed in the last year, the shear numbers of so called bashers that are on EVERY stock board .....every one of them....i can certainly understand if one got their clock cleaned and wanted to vent a lil, i have done my share of that.......but thats not what i am seeing......and i have to ask: WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT?.......most of us know these are trading vehicles and not much more in most cases.......we know that!

i am of the opinion that ANYONE that posts on a stock messageboard for ANY reason.....has an agenda....if you are long the stock......its pretty obvious, we want the stock to go up.....if you arent long the stock and you arent short....whats the purpose? whats the payoff?.....

from where i sit......it appears to be one of irritation and not much else........maybe because they 'can'.....with protection from ihub......attack the stock but not the basher........ie.......the basher can LIE and not be called on it....or if he is called on it, you run the risk of getting your post removed for 'personal attack'........pffffffffft

i believe there are some really astute 'negatoids' on ihub and those guys are really not the problem, although most of them dont trade and seem to loathe those of us that are socalled 'pumpers'....and in some cases some of the negatoids will, indeed, play a stock from time to time....i am quite sure after taking profits, a shower is usually called for to get the smell off...those guys are not the problem...... its the 'others'.....some of these guys have thousands of posts on various board.......its almost like an addiction......i dont get it........where's the payoff?.......and please dont gimme that 'discussion' nonsense.......thats not it.......are there that many 'washed out' traders out there?

what a horrible way to live life.....digging up every piece of dirt you can possibly find on a stock you have NO vested interest in!!!!!!!!

i think its about the win! even as little as a posting win! a downtick! an 'i told you so'.....again.......pfffffffft
