Reality about a few quick notes
to help you on your way during the next few months of the investing season.
Lesson 1: Remember, PUMPERS ALWAYS pump A STOCK BECAUSE THEY ARE DESPERATE. Check the boards for stocks which have had a precipitous drop in share price and you will find the Pumpers desperately hyping the stock. Their hope is to stir up interest/excitement with new investors to entice the "newbies" to run the price up so they (the PUMPERS) can sell them their stock.
Lesson 2: PUMPERS ALWAYS DEAL IN RUMOR AND GOSSIP that is made out of whole cloth. They will talk about "deals" and "projects" which they find hard to substantiate or prove. They will constantly "leak" information to which they can show no link(s) or official releases.
Lesson 3: PUMPERS WILL BLAME EVERYTHING ON "BASHERS" AND "SHORTS". Every time a poster has a legitimate question the PUMPERS WILL IMMEDIATELY ATTACK THAT POSTER. The PUMPERS will group together for the attack(s). THE PUMPERS KNOW IT ALL! Pumpers never admit when mistakes are made or promises missed and Pumpers always control the board. Many Pumpers will not directly address true longs because the long may ask for a link or proof of the claims made by the Pumper and such information is seldom, if ever, available.
Lesson 4: PUMPERS WILL HAPPILY LIE TO YOUR FACE. Never trust a Pumper. Their purpose is to get you, the "newbie" excited enough to buy the Pumper's shares at a higher price. Pumpers pump to get you excited enough to "rescue them". Check posts by Pumpers and you will find that they will compare a start up company to established companies. This is deceptive as there IS NO COMPARISON between a start up company which needs to sell shares just to make payroll and companies who constantly have billions and billions of dollars in revenues and many billions in profits. PUMPERS WHISPER RUMORS AND GOSSIP IN YOUR EAR AND THEY HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOT SAVVY ENOUGH TO RESEARCH THE TRUTH ON YOUR OWN. This is how they achieve their greatest success.
LESSON AS IMPORTANT AS LESSONS 1 - 4: BASHERS do the exact opposite as PUMPERS.
MOST IMPORTANT LESSON OF ALL: You will find both BASHERS and PUMPERS involved with most stocks. BASHERS and PUMPERS are not your friends. No one on a message board is your friend. YOU ARE YOUR ONLY FRIEND and if you do not do your own research but choose to rely on what you are told on a message board then YOU ARE NOT EVEN YOUR OWN FRIEND.
You should never stop asking questions and you should never let the BASHERS or the PUMPERS stop you from getting answers to your questions.
