It isn't logical. Everybody I know that owns stock

It isn't logical. Everybody I know that owns stocks is in it to make money. Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. I've never seen such an effort to discredit a company and a person.

The only thing I can think of is that they believe the company in going to be successful and are trying to hold the sp down as long as they can and buy as many cheap shares as they can. They know that eventually the sp will rise and they will make a killing no matter what they say. So why not bash and buy.

If that's not the case then what kind of person would intentionally try to keep other people from making money? Now that would truly be lowlife.
