Do Paid Bashers Exist?
Do Paid Bashers Exist on Penny Stocks?
There are several types of basher:
1) The nut job who has lost money and posts bashing posts for weeks, months or even years out of a vengeful hatred ranting ‘I lost money on this POS..Watch out!’
2) The basher who missed the initial run and wants to get in cheaper or they sold too soon into a run and want to get back in at a lower price. Their cry will often be of the ‘TIMBERRRRRR!’ or ‘POS’ type post. These idiots will often flip in and out and post according to their position.
3) The short seller basher. Yes it is possible to short OTC penny stocks using brokerages such as Interactive Brokers. Someone who claims to have made millions of dollars by shorting penny stocks is Timothy Sykes. This type of basher shorts a stock at it’s height recognizing an ‘over bought’ state and then want to cover as low as possible. Again these bashers will lie and cry ‘TIMBERRRRR!’ and make up anything they can to scare longs into panic selling and creating a crash in the PPS.
4) The truth teller basher. These can see dilution and lying CEO promises and genuinely do want to warn investors away.
However #4 is where I am sure (if you believe do paid bashers exist) there is a fifth type of basher! These are organized groups that bash a stock on numerous bulletin boards. The main bulletin board from which they operate is the largest forum on the internet; Investorshub. Under the guise of ‘cybersleuths’ they are sent to particular Ihub Stock Boards where they make themselves ‘moderators’ of said board. These paid bashers work for market makers and hedge funds who have been shorting or nakedly shorting the stock. The plan of these criminal manipulators is to destroy the stock with the aim of never needing to cover. Many strategies are adopted from; the moderators deleting on topic posts, to getting long term investors banned from the board, to digging up ancient history about the stock and tarnishing the stock with any dirt they can find, and of course systematically attacking, cyberbullying and ridiculing longs .
Do paid bashers exist then and how are they renumerated? The common theory that has been around since 2002 is that these parasites are paid $5-$7 per reply by the market maker/hedge fund. Whether this is true or not has never been proven and is labelled a ‘myth’ by these bashers! Naked shorting or MM manipulation is also ridiculed as a ‘myth’. I have recently seen every trick in the paid basher handbook being employed on Investorshub SouthRidge Minerals Inc Board and Raging Bull SRGE Board.
So do paid bashers exist?
I believe they do exist. It is very difficult to prove as there is a huge amount of money involved and this is an extremely tight lipped community (admitting to lying and stock manipulation is a jailable offence). Corrupt hedge funds and market makers DO nakedly short thousands of stocks and especially microcap penny stocks. They have literally destroyed hundreds of U.S microcap companies by manipulating their share price to no bid. In my opinion the whole system is rigged in favor of these crooks. If the extent of the corruption was known in Wall Street and exposed by the regulators (FINRA, SEC, DTCC) it would bring down the U.S Economy! Do paid bashers exist? YES in my opinion!
