They are paid by hedge funds, market makers and/or broker dealers to bash the stock to get the retail longs to sell their shares. Do not fall for their stealing. If you believe in your DD, hold your shares for the coming events and you will be greatly rewarded, IMO.
If the stockholders on this board will be disciplined enough NOT to respond directly to the bashers, their number of post will diminish substantially.. it only works if everyone agrees NOT to answer them directly.. They get paid by the responses they receive.. that is why they try to be as irritating as they can.. just to get you to respond.. they really can hurt a stock.. Answer if you want to, just do it as a new post…
