An operator of Investors Hub was charged with stock manipulation by the SEC. While the article doesn't mention using IHUB in the manipulation process, do you think they were bashing those stocks while they were doing their artificial pump? Do you think someone could reverse the process (manipulative sells and bashing the stock) if they wanted to.
Moreover, do you think he became involved with IHUB because he didn't think he cold affect stock trading thru posting?
Ron's right - bashing alone would not do it. Couple it with some coordinated trading though and it could work.
Add in the fiasco Agoracom went thru that Spotter pointed out and it all just becomes -
Ludicrous.
