Rampers and Derampers ~17 Apr 2024 15:09
People make their very own decisions in which Companies to invest . Nobody tells you how to spend your money. Research should include both positive and negative views providing they are also both balanced , constructive and defined as well researched . Most importantly is information provided by the Company and ratified by RNS . Unfortunately even some of the best researched Companies on AIM (and other markets) have turned out to be duds so risk is ever present . But , at least YOU will have been responsible for investing your funds .
I make these points because this particular Company has attracted huge interest and unfortunately that has attracted some most distasteful and thoroughly dishonourable individuals . I believe that the overt rampers have a minimal impact on investment decisions , RNS , Mkt Cap , Potential , Demand , Prospects , History , Board Members , SP , Competition etc ....are among the motivators to invest / or not .
It is the deramping posters that can , and often do create a negative climate that can interfere with personal decisions . They play on sentiment and prey on insecurity . Some of these people are really quite stupid , often vulgar , post blatant lies , generate fear , make personal and threatening attacks on investors views (I believe some of the trash posted is in fact criminal). This is totally unacceptable behaviour , regrettably tolerated by most public forums . It is a poor reflection on the values , decency and standards of integrity prevalent in today`s society . Sadly, " it is always easier to knock something down than to build something up" . A mantra often deployed by the unscrupulous in the persuit of greed . Some of these individuals are so obvious they are easily dismissed , some are much more subtle , more credible , more difficult to read and much more disruptive. When viewed as a whole the influence of this cabal of derampers can seriously impact sentiment as has been the case in this particular stock . I think this appalling negative behaviour mostly based on opinion and NOT supported by fact , has been a most destructive influence here over the past weeks .
FWIW , Although I have probably missed many as I don`t spend a lot of time on this BB , by contrast some people (mostly the derampers afaics ) seem to spend the whole day on the site . Do they work ? Are they bored retirees? Paid disruptors ? Dishonest employees misusing their employers trust ? Who knows , just very strange behaviour. I am going to list those individuals who I have `Green Boxed` because I regard their vacuous posts as untrustworthy and valueless :
SirShortalot , Can U Dance , Donotpanic , Slacker , SSCCSS , Roger Jolly , Happy Dazes , Crusty Pete , I Khan Chicken Thighs , Roger 65 , Yana Ali Khan ................
Perhaps investors would add many others to a list of posters unsupportive of their decision to invest and even determined to destroy their investment .
