Story of IHUB "Baltia" bash crew:
Basher Insight
I don't play the basher vs pumper game much, but ran across this post on a small oiler stock I have a few shares in. The poster has been "around" awhile, and thought his insight to the boiler room methodology would would make an interesting read for some folks here. Sad way to make a $ in my book.
Finally, a Beginner-level basher for under 10 dollar Oil stocks (also known as a Pitchfork) would
attempt to create confusion in the room by distracting other posters
with satire, name calling and pointless arguments. AKA zombiessnpumperboy was created this summer because buying was hurting our short position. The idea was to
make sure no serious discussion of the stock
could take place. A Pitchfork was usually a basher, but not always.
Sometimes, we would throw in a hypster Pitchfork such as zombiessnpumperboy and
and a pumper like vernnimble to create the illusion of an
argument going on. What was really funny (in a perverse way, I guess)
was that zombiessnpumperboy and I sat next to each other, laughing the whole
time.
I was a Serpent basher, because I am known for effective bashing based
on solid facts and truth. I was paid a base wage of $18 an hour for my
services. I was given a $1.25 bonus for every decent quality post over
100 per day as well as a monthly bonus of $100 for every penny the
stock had dropped from the previous month. I was also paid a bonus for
bashing on weekends. While this may not sound like much, I made a
decent, though dishonorable, paycheck plus a nice Laptop with free
wireless internet connection.
Each of us sat in a small half-cubicle in a cluster with our
teammates. Each group (usually five people) was made of three
beginners (two who would bash and one who would hype), one
intermediate and one advanced level basher. Occasionally for some
of the hotter stocks, one of the beginners would be replaced by an
intermediate depending on how much the stock was rising. IDWD was a
low-level stock, meaning it got the 3-1-1 configuration.
