Targeted de-ramping/boiler room tactics/traders etc...3 Feb 2021 18:22
Now i know this discusion has come up before and it's proabaly a little less important than it used to be, however i felt it was worth bringing up again.
Whilst the influence of this bulletin board, in fact any share BB is questionable, but in times of small trades/low volume perhaps they can have some influence on the share price? We have seen recently tiny UT affecting the price recently for example.
Anyway the point im trying to make is we saw two posters re-appear this morning who post very infrequently, we'll call them Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, and almost like clockwork, they appear on the morning of a very badly worded RNS by CH (which could be interpreted in different ways), with brand new posts with panic inducing titles and post content that comes across very "very" negative, very doom laden and borderline nasty in it's overtones.
Now it's a given these posters have level 2, and maybe having have seen the sell orders lining up pre 8am, and then decided (IMO) to twist the RNS in as overly negative way as they can (without sounding to silly), wait for the expected dip, potentially enhanced by said posts, mop up some cheap shares for trading a later time. It's potentially a lucrative gig for these guys, if somewhat sleazy way of doing thing...IMO.
Also i'm inclined to think it is one and the same person using multiple accounts, fuuny how their posts are seconds apart?
BUt maybe there is even more to it, not only as a concerted effort to trade and/or have an active dislike of the company so want to badmouth it if a potential opportunity arrives like todays RNS, because check out our old friend TW today

Notice the similarliy nasty overtones?
Btw im not saying this is unique to Scancell or this BB, im sure other companies are targeted too.
I also think it is also worth checking out the posting history of said posters.
Anyway if said posters did help the price over-reaction today, thanks for letting me top up very cheaply :)
P.s. i could be completely off the mark of course, but the consistency of said poster(s) and sharetalk spouting off about Scancell today (yet again) makes me wonder
P.P.S. isn't AIM regarded as the wild west of investing? Guess anyone will do anything to make a quick buck? So trust no-one.
