personally I wouldnt believe a word any of them say. for the simple reason they have ulterior motives. the likelyhood there is a smiggim of truth in their statements is small. if you work for advfn then you're corrupt..its that simple..the post count and followers gives it away. the enormity of hours spent on those posts is immense and time=money.
so it's safe to surmise they arent doing it for free.
they make their livelihood cheating lying slandering good or bad ceos and cos. it dont matter as long as advfn makes a dollar.
if I recall correctly most who bash on a regular basis through liehole work for them and I might be mistaken cannot hold any position in a stock but I could be wrong on this.
they work for the market makers.
Hence the speculation around all the games and manipulation.
