What is a Stock Basher
A Stock Basher is a person engaging in an illegal type of market manipulation to make the price of an asset fall. Stock bashers rely on misinformation campaigns to decrease confidence in a stock , leading to an undervaluation of that stock.
BREAKING DOWN Stock Basher
Stock Basher refers to a person who spreads false or exaggerated claims against a public company in attempt to devalue a stock. The purpose of stock bashing is usually to drive down the price of a stock so that the stock basher, or the basher’s may purchase the stock at a lower price than it would otherwise be worth.
The difference is you give an opinion, but it is not deceitfully trying to lower or manipulate the stock price with misinformation so that you can purchase cheaper shares. Any post that I find intentional trying to manipulate the share price with misinformation, i.e., fake opinion changes based on ownership of stock, I delete. Unfortunately iHub is full of them, it runs the other way also, a pumper trying to manipulate the sp up so they can sell into it. The yahoo board claims this board is a bunch of pumpers, that is incorrect also, because again it is not misinformation and we are not selling into anything. I am all for information both positive and negative as long as it is correct and not trying to be manipulative one way or another for financial gain.
