Interesting statement about bashers. If you agree that message boards do not affect stock prices (which I agree as well), then why do you care about persistent negative posting? Maybe somebody is just trying to make a point or have a discussion. some more ardent than others. btw, basic financial market theory says that no one individual or group of individuals can impact the price of  a stock.

Now, in the modern era we know that is not true. We have all seen email pump and dump schemes work. I have observed several that operate on market open (sending out spam on the market open) and seen the resulting price spike.

But seriously, if we agree that somebody getting on the internet all day participating in a discussion has no affect on the stock price, then why are you so concerned about it? Why even use the word "basher"?

Personally, I don't know what moves the stock price for JBI. I think a number of factors, perhaps message boards, but others include MM's, manipulators (retail)
