I have a better idea. Let's just post statements we know to be blatantly false to convince others to do the wrong thing w/ their hard earned money so we can profit off of their lack of knowledge. First, we have a very obnoxious poster on the board posting like a mad man that the rest of the board can ridicule. Then, the newcomers to the board can read these posts and starting trusting the crowd who's ridiculing the mad man poster. Next thing you know, they are believing every word we are saying and influencing their decisions on how to use their money. Once that's in place, we start blatantly giving wrong advice so we can profit from the newcomers gullibility. When we suggest a time to buy, they go ahead and listen and we sell our shares to them. Then, when the stock becomes oversold, we change our tone and tell them we are spooked and we sold our holdings when in all actuality we are buying up shares that hopefully they are selling since they have trust in us and are following our lead. Sure there are some ethical issues to consider but hey, who cares? It's all for the almighty dollar! Sound like a plan?
