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.
