DEFINITION of 'Stock Basher'
An individual, either acting alone or on behalf of someone else, who attempts to devalue a stock by spreading false or exaggerated claims against a public company. After the stock's price has dropped, the basher, or the basher's employer, will then purchase the stock at a lower price than what he or she believes it is intrinsically worth.
BREAKING DOWN 'Stock Basher'
This is an illegal activity that can carry significant legal repercussions. The basher generally benefits on how effective the negative rumors are, which can dramatically affect a stock's value. If an investor believes the false claims, he or she may sell off the stock at the higher price before it falls. The basher will then purchase the stock and ride out the gains.
Then i was banned and i responded with this:

You know, we've been hearing that noise for 17 years.
Nobody is paying us to do anything. We welcome all opinions irrespective of investment sentiment as long as they are on-topic and otherwise comply with the website's rules of conduct.
You think a website that have policies that would picks sides based on posters' investment sentiment is doing you a favor? You know what they say about fools and their money?
Anyway, stock boards are about stocks, not the people who post on the board. Hence, your ban since you can't seem to wrap your head around that.
Laughable, they welcome "All" opinions, (but only if they coincide with their "Agenda"
