I've had Grip hidden for a long time. He was another classic flipper who would switch his sentiment as often as his underpants. Worse, he would be belligerent about it, berating anyone who was positive, while he was negative, as "sheep" and "blind followers" of Nader. Yeah, he missed out on the first run-up then crawled back onto the boards with his tail between his legs (fleetingly).

Newcomers should distrust everyone at first, myself included, but then over time you can easily see who is a legit investor and who is a disingenuous scumbag who will lie to your face for a buck.

Watch out for the soft-bashers most of all, those who will start positive, then once they've gained your trust, will start raising questions, then pepper in some truths with outright misinformation to plant seeds of fear.

It's a game to some but their victims can lose a LOT of money if they buy the bullshit.
