I do wonder. My best guess is because you are long and have credibility. Ever notice how they all start out with
"Hey I'm new here"
Or
"Just bought some shares, very excited about this"
There is one basher here whose first posts were like
" I just bought shares"
And it was like a .004 type stock or something. Then asks "what is the company about" basically. Like you just bought it but you don't know anything about it.
