What is really needed is a class action suit against stockhouse for providing a forum for such comments. They make no effort to remove defamitory posts, posts which are lies etc etc etc even when they are told repeatedly about such posters.
Some posters utilize multiple allaises , one allaisis for each stock they bash... never revealing the stocks they actually invest in... This is an admission that they think that their posts do actually impact market sentiment. All companies that have to raise money to undertake work are thus impacted by the bashers efforts, resulting in massive dilution and lost opportunity for shareholders.. This is clearly a larger story than a single manager upset about defamation.... it is about the credability of the venture exchange and how it is manipulated.
Stockhouse is a tool which is used in conjuntion with the lax shorting rules... the reverse of the pump and dump and far more effective. With a pump and dump the pumper has to go long with a large position and seek investors to take his stock at higher prices.... In the short and bash scenario, the investors are allready emassed posting on stockhouse. When the stock becomes overbought they short it and then the barage starts, to a target audience. ...They are relentless in their quest as we are well aware.
