A BASHER HANDBOOK:
Do not underestimate a Bashers influence on a
stock. The Pro's are good at what they do and what they do is profit from
your losses. Below is their "hand-book" so to speak. Learn from it or you
will be donating your hard earned money to them!
Rules for
Successful Bashing -
1. Be anonymous
2. Use 10% fact. 90%
suggestion. The facts will lend credibility to your 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
softly.
8. Identify your foes (Longs) 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 or so. The old post will have been
forgotten or never read by a newly arrived board member.
16. 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.
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, NAME
CALL or USE PROFANITY.
20. 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.
21. Discourage people from believing Press Releases.
Encourage them to call the company. They won't out of laziness.
22. If
the companies history/PR's are negative constantly point to that. Compile
a list of this 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 Longs into personal
debates putting their focus/efforts on you and not the stock or facts.
Divert their attention from facts.
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.
