overall qualityHow to identify a paid basher....



Lesson 1:Remember, BASHERS NEVER BASH A BAD STOCK. Watch the board for stockswith no potential. They never have any bashers. Bashers only go afterstocks that are going upwards or have excellent potential to go up.Bashers get left behind, so they want to bring the price down.

Lesson2: BASHERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES. Newstartup companies always have a few bits of bad news. The basher willpost this over and over again. The stupid basher will try to make theold news a bit fresher to try to fool you.

Lesson 3: BASHERSPOST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to wear you out. They comment oneverything, every other post, and can answer every question. THEY KNOWIT ALL! There is no positive comment they won't bash. They try tocontrol the board. True longs may have to address the bashers or theywill appear to the newbies as being the people with all theinformation.

Lesson 4: BASHERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. Nevertrust a basher. The truth on startup companies is that many mistakesare made and losses happen. The basher will try to make you believe allstartup companies make a profit, release financialsevery quarter and all aspects of the business run smoothly. THIS IS NOTTRUE. THE BASHERS LIE TO YOU. Startup companies can go years withoutprofits, financials and good business, this is the nature of the beast.

Lesson 5: The bashers know YOU CAN'T VERIFY THEIR STATEMENTS. That's why they make the statements they do.

Lesson6: The bashers PLAY ON YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. They can lie aboutinformation and you couldn't know the difference (unless you have doneyour assessment of the company and know the truth and facts).

Lesson7: Bashers play on your lack of patience. YOU have held a penny stockfor a while. You knew it will be a big penny stock someday, but theBASHER CAN GET TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOUR GAIN .That's when the basher is best. You are tired. You have forgotten thegoal for the penny stock was to hold it for one year. The basher isbothersome, so you dump it on a bad day. Some others also dump. Thenyou get mad for your loss and return to let everyone know how mad youare. Then you turn into a basher as well. THE BASHER HAS WON, ANDGAINED A NEW PARTNER TOO, to be able to get in at a great price.

Lesson 8: BRING THE PRICE DOWN. That is the basher's job.The truth is not important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on theboard every day. They are trying to hit the newbies visiting the board.They are trying to wear out the longs on the board. They do whatever ittakes to wear the longs out.

Lesson 9: BASHERS WILL TRY TOCREATE DOUBT AND GET YOU TO RESEARCH ITEMS THAT THEY KNOW WILL LEAD TOTHE CREATION OF DOUBT IN YOU AND IN OTHER STOCKHOLDERS. A typical trickof an advanced basher is to propose that there is a potential "problem"because "we" don't have the facts on a particular subject. The basherdares someone in the group to find out the answer to the question. Thebasher already knows the answer; the basher already knows what will befound. The power of this tactic is that the basher is now in control ofthe actions of the stockholders; the basher has you, the stockholderdoing HIS/HER due diligenceand when you, the stockholder come back to the group with aquestionable finding then the basher gains credibility. What to do???Solution??? Well, I think it's important to find answers but on yourown terms. I actually pick up the phone and call the company and talkto the investor relations person or the CEO until I get a satisfactoryanswer. The problem here is that the advanced basher has you doing hisbidding and his work; you have essentially joined his ranks. So,develop your own little Due Diligencepackage and answer questions by placing the information into thepackage and referring all new investors to read the answers toquestions raised in the Investor Information package but DON'T GET INTOA CONVERSATION WITH THE BASHER REGARDING THE TOPIC. THAT IS WHERE YOULOSE. DON'T CONVERSE WITH THE BASHER; ANSWER INDIRECTLY; DON'T USE THEBASHERS NAME; DON'T GET INTO A PERSONALITY CONTEST.

A BASHERSHANDBOOK: know the enemy who wishes to steal your money! Do notunderestimate a bashers influence on a stock. The Pro's are good atwhat they do and what they do is profit from your losses. Below istheir "hand-book" so to speak. Learn from it or donate your money tothose who make an organized plan to steal your money!

BASHERS DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Be anonymous
2. Use 10% fact. 90% suggestion. The facts will lend credibility toyour suggestions.
3. Let others help you learn about the stock. Build rapport and a support base before initiating your bashing routine.
4. Enter w/ humor and reply to all who reply to you.
5. Use multiple ISP's, handles and aliases.
6. Use two (2) or more aliases to simulate a discussion.
7. Do not start with an all out slam of the stock. Build to it.
8. Identify your foes (hypsters) and the boards "guru" Use them to your advantage. Lead them do not follow their lead.
9. Only bash until the tide/momentum turns. Let doubt carry it the rest of the way.
10. Give the appearance of being open minded.
11. Be bold in your statements. People follow strength.
12. Write headlines in caps with catchy statements.
13. Pour it on as your position gains momentum. Not your personality.
14. Don't worry about being labeled a "basher". Newbies won't know your history.
15. When identified put up a brief fight, then back off. Return in an hour unless your foe is a weak in reasoning powers.
16.Your goal is to limit the momentum of the run. Not to tank the companyor create a plunge in the stock; be subtle and consistent.
17. Kill the dreams of profits, not the company or the stock.
18. Use questions to create critical thinking. Statements to reinforce facts.
19. DO NOT LIE, DO NOT NAME CALL and DO NOT USE PROFANITY.
20.Encourage people to call the company. 99% won't. They'll take your wordfor claims made. If they do call you can always find something that isinaccurate in how they report their findings.
21. Discouragepeople for taking the companies word for anything. Encourage them tocall the company. They won't out of laziness.
22. If the companieshistory/PR's are negative constantly point to that. Compile a list ofthis data prior to beginning your efforts.
23. If the price rises blame it on the hype or the PR, temporary mass reaction, the market, etc. Anything but the stock itself.
24. If other posters share your concerns, play on that and share theirs too.
25. Always cite low volume, even when it's not.
26. Three or four aliases can dominate a board and wear down the longs.
27.Bait the hypsters into personal debates putting their focus/efforts onyou and not the stock or facts. Divert their attention from facts. Showthem the facts from a "different angle."
28. Promote other stocks that would-be investors can turn to instead of the one your bashing.
30. Do 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.
