Smach, there is really no reason to pitch or pump a stock. Stocks soar or fall all on their own, and they do not need our help to do so. People who are newly rich often brag and boast about all they have, claiming it is because of their intelligence. This is typically not true. In fact, some of the dumbest people one will ever meet have wealth. From experience, I can tell you that down playing ones wealth is the better way to go, and that is what the truly long term wealthy do. This does not mean one can not splurge once in a while, and enjoy one's blessings --- that is also important. But no one loves one who boasts and rubes their wealth in other peoples faces. Not only is that crude, it is also ill advised. Not everyone is so forgiving of such antics.
