Together with six other defendants, StockWatch said, Brown allegedly manipulated the stocks through “prearranged trades that were timed to coincide with misleading news and posts on Investors Hub” and then dumped the inflated shares.

Rules for Successfuly Bashing Stock

  • Be anonymous
  • Use 10% fact. 90% suggestion. The facts will lend credibility to your suggestions.
  • Let others help you learn about the stock. Build rapport and a support base before initiating your Bashing routine.
  • Enter with humor and reply to all who reply to you.
  • Use multiple ISP’s, handles and aliases.
  • Use two (2) or more aliases to simulate a discussion.
  • Do not
    start with an all out slam of the stock. Build softly.
  • Identify your foes (Longs) and the boards “guru” Use them to
    your advantage. Lead them do not follow their lead.
  • Only Bash until the tide/momentum turns. Let doubt carry it the rest of the way.
  • Give the appearance of being open minded.
  • Be bold in your statements. People follow strength.
  • Write headlines in caps with catchy statements.
  • Pour it on as your position gains momentum. Not your personality.
  • Don’t worry about being labeled a “Basher”. Newbies won’t know your history.
  • When identified put up a brief fight, then back off. Return in an hour unless your 
    foe is a weak in reasoning powers.
  • Your goal is to limit the momentum of the run. Not to tank the
    company or create a plunge in the stock; be subtle and consistent.
  • Kill the dreams of profits, not the company or the stock.
  • Use questions to create critical thinking. Statements to reinforce facts.
  • DO NOT LIE, NAME CALL or USE PROFANITY.
  • Encourage people to call the company. 99% won’t. They’ll take your word for claims made. If they do call you can always find something that
    is inaccurate in how they report their findings.
  • Discourage people from believing Press Releases. Encourage them to call the company. They won’t out of laziness.
  • If the companies history/PR’s are negative constantly point to that. Compile
    a list of this data prior to beginning your efforts.
  • If the price rises blame it on the hype or the PR, temporary mass reaction, the market, etc. Anything but the stock itself.
  • If other posters share your concerns, play on that and share theirs too.
  • Always cite low volume, even when it’s not.
  • Three or four aliases can dominate a board and wear down the longs.
  • Bait the Longs into personal debates putting their focus/efforts on you and not the stock or facts. Divert their attention from facts.
  • Promote other stocks that would-be investors can turn to instead of the one your Bashing.
  • 3Do not fall for challenges on the “values” of what you are doing, it’s a game and you are playing it with your own rules.

How to trade Penny Stock?

Investing in penny stocks provides traders with the opportunity to dramatically increase their profits, however, it also provides an equal opportunity to lose your trading capital quickly. The low cost of Pink Sheet securities is the primary advantage that they offer. Investors who wish to get in on a new company at the onset can pick up stock for literally pennies. If a company does well and grows that initial investment can grow from pennies to much large dividends.

What is 10K Report

Form 10K is the annual report filed by every company with a total capital of 100million. This  gives a comprehensive summary of a public company’s performance. Although similarly named, the annual report on Form 10-K is distinct from the often glossy “annual report to shareholders”, which a company must send to its shareholders when it holds an annual meeting to elect directors (though some companies combine the annual report and the 10-K into one document). The 10-K includes information such as company history, organizational structure, executive compensation, equity, subsidiaries, and audited financial statements, among other information.

Companies with more than $10 million in assets whose securities are held by more than 500 owners must file annual and other periodic reports, regardless of whether the securities are publicly or privately traded. Smaller companies may use Form 10-KSB. If a shareholder requests a company’s Form 10-K, the company must provide a copy.

In addition to the 10-K, which is filed annually, a company is also required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Information for the final quarter of a firm’s fiscal year is included in the annual 10-K, so only three 10-Q filings are made each year. In the period between these filings, and in case of a significant event, such as a CEO departing or bankruptcy, a Form 8-K must be filed in order to provide up to date information.
