Yes, there is one: "Down-ramping". There could be another one.

 

Haggis started with this:

 

http://www.sharechat.co.nz/archives/current/msg00157.shtml

 

He predicted 7% growth for the next 2 years.

 

It is generally agreed that the current year's growth will be between 25% and 30%. So I asked him for his source of information.

 

No answer, instead he changed the thread to this:

 

http://www.sharechat.co.nz/archives/current/msg00180.shtml

 

I challenged him once again but still no answer.

 

Now he changed his thread again, a cunning device as readers can't see a continuous argument developing.

 

People who short shares or want to talk them down so as to get in cheaply sometimes use this method.  They tend to be statements designed to trap the unwary, I feel.

 

I don't think it is worthwhile spending any more time on this. He doesn't show any calculations and there is a great lack of credibility IMHO.

 

Never mind. if all else fails then it is easy for people to adopt another alias and start the game all over again.
