wouldn't surprise me ,Brian,this latest reference to unscroupulus trading reminds me of a few years back when one of the TV programs W5? I think was about how brokeridge house were selling seats for $50,000.00,the traders mostly young neophytes would trade all day long with the stipulation that they hold no positions overnight.The first thing tahat did was stimulate buys and sells with the hose reaping commissions on both sides.It was at that time that bashers were revealed,some guy from the Connetticet admited to being paid a stipend for all response he garnered on all the investor trading forums he visited,he explained how the bashers would gain the confidence of participants,knowing this was happenning I was always taken aback when it would be pointed out how some posters used to ridicule the messanger,mostly saying that it was naive to think a stock could be influenced by these seemingly meaningless boards.
As I point out its not so much a board like this one can influence what happens to Connacher,but that are a good indicator (poll) that reflects investors sentiment,
Getting back to your question about the lack of basher posts,I would not be surprised to see a News Release,and NO! I dont have any info????
