some interesting bits below....
most investors who have an account on a stock message board will block or mute the people that post fake comments. but that’s not good enough. we have to put a stop to it.
hardcore investors that have done their research won’t be swayed by junky bearish comments. wall street’s target is the newcomer. someone who just happens upon a stock because it’s trending. they find a new stock, see a bunch of scary comments talking about bankruptcy (rare), lawsuits (cash-grabs), or how dumb the ceo is (can’t be that dumb to be a ceo), and decide the stock isn’t worth their time.
that’s wall street’s goal. to get as many people as possible to look somewhere else. to bugger off and just buy index funds. this leaves more gems for wall street once they decide to start accumulating
3. the comment blames management, particularly the ceo for almost everything.
“worst ceo in history.”
“fire the ceo and everything gets better.”
“ceo raking in millions while we suffer.”
stuff like that. you see it all the time. these types of posts are designed to sew fear about the company.
paid bashers are sometimes posting 10, 20, 30 times a day. or more. usually on a single stock, but sometimes across multiple tickers. their posts are frequent and basic.
the more someone posts, the more likely they are to be trying to influence sentiment.
if you click someone’s stocktwit’s profile and see they’ve posted thousands of bearish stock ideas…they’re likely a manipulator.
if you feel like a bearish user is sticking to a script, it’s probably because they are.
most of the time if you challenge their bull****, they won’t be able to defend it. they’ll resort to ad-hominem attacks. (attacking you instead of your information.)
if you’re challenging a paid basher’s bull****, and they respond with “you’re dumb,” instead of a detailed explanation of why they’re right and you’re wrong, then you can ignore this person
