$SNPW ALERT> Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER Bas
Post# of 12492
Check the boards for stocks with no potential. They never have any Bashers. Bashers only go after stocks that are moving up or have excellent potential to do so.
Bashers work to bring the price down to either increase their position at the
expense of others or help a Short make their bones.
Lesson 2: BASHERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT
YOU HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES. New startup companies
always have a few bits of bad news. The Basher will post this
over and over again. Unsophisticated Bashers will try to
freshen up old news with a new date or by-line in an attempt to
fool you.
Lesson 3: BASHERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to
wear you out. They comment on everything, every other post,
and can answer every question. THEY KNOW IT ALL! There is
no positive comment they won't Bash. They try to control the
board. True longs may have to confront the Bashers or they will
appear to the newbies as being the people with all the
information. This is best accomplished by posting positive, well
researched data on the company, repetitively, while trying hard
not to engage the Bashers in direct repartee. REMEMBER -
LONGS... RESIST USING THE BASHERS ALIAS!
Lesson 4: BASHERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. Never trust
a Basher. The truth on startup companies is that they make
mistakes. What new company hasn't? The Basher will compare
your issue to a another companies, financials - deals -
management, etc., trying to lure you into making an Apples to
Oranges comparison. Remember each company is unique and
while it is prudent to seek out established indicators, do so with
care and don't take someone else's word for it. Strive to come
up with at least a "six-pack" of indicators so your vision of the
state of a company is not tied to a single barometer. Not doing
so is tantamount to going to a Race Track and betting on the
"Pretty Brown Horsey". BASHERS WANT TO WHISPER IN
YOUR EAR - PLANT A SEED OF DOUBT, AND HOPE THAT
YOU ARE NOT SAVVY ENOUGH TO RESEARCH THE
TRUTH ON YOUR OWN. This is how they achieve their
greatest success.
