After a while, when they add nothing real to the discussion, I suspect it is to create traffic that directly links to their posts because some reportedly get paid for such direct links,so when i suspect they belong to that category I stop directly linking to their posts
from the top sticky:
To profit, they use fear by continually shouting fire in a crowded theater- which would be a crime in real life- imo often the worst lies or irrelevancies they can think of. It's a war of attrition where they try to wear down long's and block/deceive newbies. They try to prevent others from buying and get longs to sell, only to have longs move on to another stock in a destructive game of musical chairs where longs experience the same shorting in a vicious cycle, thus never profiting- for a good portion of these penny stocks are shorted.
They attack the stock, company, longs, threaten longs publicly and privately, anything and everything they can think of to drive the price down.
Unlike longs, many shorters, in the shorting cartels etc., reportedly get paid and thus do this for a living,with much training from the basher/shorter handbooks etc. If you look at MaxShocker's posts of articles re bashers and mm's etc. below, [see top sticky] copied from his trading tips 101 board, posts 40, 86, 117, you will see some of the general rules for dealing with shorters :
These rules include :
1). Don't link directly to their post if you reply to something they say. We will rebut disinformation as deemed necessary but most should follow the general rule to IGNORE them .
2). Linking directly to their posts emphasizes what they have said twice,so in most cases if you need to respond to disinformation, use the ''create new post" menu.
3). They reportedly get paid for every post that directly links to their post , except perhaps for the leader and others on salary. For every post that piggybacks on a link that directly links to their post, they might get paid also. See below.
4). Also, don't mention their monikers in your posts, for they reportedly get paid for that also .
