"Know the type, they do not do it for the good of us holders."
Here's a novel theory on the 'bashers'.
First let get this out the way. They are way over estimated in their alleged ability to drive down pps. Think about it.
Are ANY of you influenced to sell by anything they post?
No, I didn't think so.
So I guess that leaves all of those so called 'weak hands' who head for the exits when someone posts 'BOO'! The need to believe that baseless critical posts are made by devilishly clever traders is really pretty weak in itself.
Bashers are mirror images of pumpers. They share a blind certitude
in the accuracy of their opinions fueled by the need, above all, to be right. Some are just uncertain about or disappointed with their investment. That's all that's going on.
To believe otherwise is to believe that these boards are the core of the investing universe for the pennies and that the MM's are trading wih one eye on these boards. Again, over estimation. IMO
