Oh for Pete's sake...there are website message boards for just about any subject out there...and people use them because they like discussing the subject. They have an interest. It's no different here. People post for a variety of reasons. In the case of this subject there are many that do so to try and make money on penny stocks, so yes many may have a financial interest that causes them to post in a certain way.
Has it not dawned that that fact may be a source of interest and entertainment to others that don't have a financial interest? I mean seriously...I get to debate with people that are so blinded by their financial interest that I can be essentially "right" 99% of the time...and it might just be human nature to enjoy that ;-).
I am also into cars and use to spend a lot of time on various car message boards debating anything and everything car related.
Now I like to discuss and debate POS penny stocks. Frankly I have never come across anyone that can make money in any way by posting as we do. You can't short penny stocks in any meaningful way...and I have never actually heard or seen anyone get paid to "bash" a stock and there have been no SEC enforcement actions I can see for getting paid to "bash" a stock. However, SEC enforcement actions for getting paid to pump a stock are quite regular...so I guess the SEC must be in on it as well?...SMH.
So that leaves the only mechanism which would be to "bash" a stock to suppress the pps so one could buy at a lower pps and then pump it back up...
...well I challenge you to find in my post history, or many of the so called serial "skeptics" where they have pumped a stock. It doesn't exist. And that fact alone is enough to show this idea is nonsense.
