a hedge fund guy i interned for. use to have this

i never tried it. but they always had a small stack of pre-paid credit cards. and used multiple aliases attached to each (on the back they wrote their full made-up name. posting alias. password and the ticks they were working)
shorting and distorting (as many know) is an investment strategy
its almost as common as going long (nowadays). it does not fit most retail investor profiles (personality. each investment style is like a fingerprint. has a personality). but it does match those scumbags in finance to a tee
hyper traders. no morals. don't give two chits about anyone. the damage they cause. only thinking about making money
although i get where they were coming from. and do short stocks. i depend on my research and overvaluation. those guys depend heavily upon hammering the stock. they enlist friends. and get dirty. so they can get in. make money. get out more quickly (and reduce risk. reduce exposure. reduce time spent on a position). sometimes they'll pump (i don't mean relaying or posting positive things. i mean telling lies there too. price. news. whatever)
anyone who claims ihub isn't manipulating ntek is out to lunch. 50 people hammering away at a stock with "no interest"? no one is that stupid
normal. those in a long position support their investment too. normal. typical
that's why these message boards are not to be looked to for investment advice really. and why everyone needs to think for themselves. verify. keep doing their research. there is no easy way to invest safely. everyone has an agenda (not good or bad. just is)
ps- post not directed at u sitting bull. just reflecting. answering some pm questions. and being expressive is all
