maknmoolah- "how do paid pumpers make money..."

makn, i've seen countless posts over the years of "former bashers spilling the beans" etc.. even seen pay charts and how bashers get paid by the number of responses and number of posts..

regardless of the validity to these "paid basher" posts and rumors i think it's safe to assume that if "boiler rooms" exist then it is safe to assume that "basher rooms" exist as well (probably the same room). two sides to the market long/short...my guess is that most of the "professionals" and even the small fry retail guys that play in this part of the market do both...pump when they want to unload, bash when they want to buy in..it only makes sense...i guess to some extent we all do it and are paid according to our level of persuasion.

one thing i'd love to see is a CNBC expose on "internet pumping/bashing", but i'm not sure you ever will because this is the essence of the market ..
