AKP - I'm calling BS., page-37

I just read an interesting post posted by ChippyDude on the CPV thread [37771873] that I thought might ring a few bells here.

It's about professional stock bashers, their methods and motivations. I have no idea if it is bone fide or is itself a contrivance. But it is worth taking a look and running the methodology's characteristics by a few of the posts on HC. I have made the point several times before now that some posts on HC including on this stock bring such a distinctly negative bias that they almost seem to have a deliberate agenda of squashing any rally in the SP, and often at the close of trade. How does this differ from a poster simply having negative feelings and suspicions about a particular stock? Hard to say. Consistent opinionated big-man bluster and hard sell opinions that "this stock is a dog", "this is a scam company", "these guys are all conmen", "this is imminently about to tank" come to mind. One has to be mindful that the internet has become a place of trolls, anonymous bullies, and deliberate purveyors of misinformation. It seems we can no longer take or trust anyone simply at their word. There's nothing new in that, bu it gives DYOR a more sinister edge.

PS: I live in Christchurch where we are watching the latest episode of sociopathic malevolence play out, so maybe I'm just in a low mood.
