Ok, so we agree on something.
Because you seem to have a good head on your shoulders, let me run another issue by you.
I have a beef with the paid boiler-room pumpers that swoop in and post gibberish and nonsense all day long on these boards with nothing to substantiate their claims. The pumpers arrive on a specific board for one purpose, and one purpose only and that is to get unsuspecting newbies to invest in the stock (based on their hype) so that they can dump their shares at a profit. I can only speculate as to how they get those shares.
I would have never known that they existed had they not swooped in to a message board that I have been following for years.
Now, don’t tell me that paid pumpers do not exist. Just look around… it’s not hard to identify the group, and they all work for the same company. Their posts show-up here, on other message board services, and on the company website.
Maybe the paid pumpers play right in to your plan, and don’t bother you a bit. If so, then enjoy. But for me, it is just wrong. I am all for an informed exchange of information and opinions... but these tactics just don’t pass the smell test for me.
