Sur has a couple of these down good:

Quote:

7. Do not start with an all out slam of the stock. Build softly.
10. Give the appearance of being open minded.
11. Be bold in your statements. People follow strength.
24. If other posters share your concerns, play on that and share theirs too.

a couple others that happened I suspect on ihub over the last year:

Quote:

---

26. Three or four aliases can dominate a board and wear down the longs.
28. Promote other stocks that would-be investors can turn to
instead of the one your Bashing.
