sure thats possible, but that is not what the industry is saying anymore...they call it short and distort and it is now a corruption that is no longer limited to message boards guy...it's happening with the aid of journalists analysts and extends into almost every niche the market knows
get informed, stay informed, should be easy in your industry
just like nss which at one time even the sec scoffed at short and distort crews were at one time thought to be a fairy tale...now a very real issue regulations are being rewritten to address
regarding message board bashers?...just because they don't get caught don't mean it aint happening
if ihub can prove a basher is paid...highly unlikely...then they should pay too
