By your standards, they would need to shut down the entire penny stock market because anyone that is believing and posting positive about a penny stock is a pumper and a scammer and are complicit to the frauds that you believe is applicable to anyone believing in a penny stock. Sorry, but I am not a pumper and I am not a scammer. Just because I like a stock and post why I like a stock does not make me a scammer or a pumper. Being right or wrong doesn’t make me a scammer or a pumper. I post how I feel and you post how you feel. I respect both stances as so should you.
I'm going to explain this to you one time and then I'm done with the back and forth. I will let you think as you may. You and your basher buddies have me all wrong.
I have a stock platform that allows me to see any news that hit the wires on any penny stock or major market stock that exists. I've had something like this for many years. Thousands of people within the market have this same kind of platform or something similar I'm sure. So, take for an example, if stock ABCD is sitting at .0001 per share and releases news through the wires that they have just signed a $50 Million deal with Microsoft (MSFT), then I am going to see that news. Also, there will probably be thousands of others that will see that news too.
Next, investors will start to do some quick due diligence (DD) to see if they should buy or not or to see how many shares should they buy. Investors are trying to see if they should load up, take a small amount, or even buy at all. I presume this is what we all are doing once we see the news of a stock.
Let's presume that I like the news enough to take a position to take the risk. Hmmm... at .0001 per share, maybe I'll throw $1,000 at it to buy 10,000,000 shares. Now let's presume I like it enough to go make a post about it on IHub about how I feel about the deal and the stock. Now keep in mind, regardless to what all of you might think, it is just me. I don't have a group, I don't hang out in any of those private stocks rooms. Now when I get to the board on IHub, I see that there are lots of posts and lots of new investors that are there. Some are there to pump the stock for a trade, but some are there as I am to hope that it transforms from a trade to an investment. That is what I am hoping for with any stock that I post on. If I am going to flip a stock or just do a quick trade with it, I never will ever post on that stock because that can be misleading in my opinion to have someone thinking that I’m planning on staying around for a while when I’m not. Nobody will ever know that I'm even in it. Some stocks for my own reasons I will have the patience of Job (from the Bible). Heck, look at here with EGYF. I've been here in EGYF for nearly 8 years: https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=118532460
Now when I go to a forum to post, sometimes I see that after I post, because of how many years I've been around, there is somebody that usually knows me from that forum. Keep in mind, I used to have a couple different investing forums years ago to where I had over 7 to 8 thousand investors within my forums at one time. Some will welcome me, while some just remain quiet and only respond to me if I respond to them first. I also met a lot of people that were into investing throughout my military career all over the world. Many of them I have told to come to IHub to use as a tool to learn the pros and cons that could exist about a stock that they might be in.
There will also sometimes be some bashers there on forum for that stock. Normally once they see me post there for the first time, the first thing they usually do is start accusing me of leading the new pump as they will call it not knowing that I’m just as new to the stock as they are. Many of them I have been knowing and fighting against for years. A lot of times I don't even respond, but sometimes I do. Enough of the time I just don't pay them no mind because usually my responses would seem to get deleted. So I figured why bother. Things are a little different under the new rules though.
Even though you think that everybody that knows me do nothing but loses money, I'll just say, you'll be surprised if you knew that truth. I'll just say that I have help way more than you really care or want to believe. I really don't care what you think, but I do care about what many others might think that read this BS you post and don't see me respond back to it. That’s why sometimes I respond. Heck, they might start to wonder if you are right with seeing no response back. Sorry, you are wrong with this blame game that you are doing.
There are many public and private groups out there that will have investors that will bring the news into their rooms to be seen. All of a sudden, you might start seeing volume in that stock from investors that don't even post on IHub that start coming in the stock bringing massive volume. The stock could be running because of the news and the volume could be coming from a group of investors that don't know me and don't even know that I am posting about it on IHub. To sit around and think that I can control a stock or the market by me posting on a stock is giving me way too much credit. If that was true, EGYF would be at a dollar already! LOL!
You are really insulting your own intelligence and the intelligence of others. People are here within these forums looking for something that will be a good investment. If you think you can do better, put up or shut up. Then do better. Stop bashing and let people know what would be some solid stocks to look into to buy. People don't need you telling us what not to buy. People want to know what to buy. So unless you can do better, then your bashing will fall on deaf ears.
