Ok...clearly I must be confused.

This whole paid bashers/pumper thing had me pretty curious so I tried to do a little research on the whole phenomenon....

Nothing to be found so far other than the entire thing is a hoax of some sort. The "confessions of a paid basher" article was proven a fraud. So, why are so many convinced that when our price is down - we get bombarded by paid bashers?

Can't be to corrode the share price so shorts can over...we are already down almost 20%

Perhaps to corrode the price further so they can buy in more cheaply?

Who are 'they'?

Surely by now anyone employing the idiots to post on the many internet stock forums would have been exposed by now.

I have some doubt about the entire idea of paid bashers, but then we get a flood of relative 'unknowns' posting like there is no tomorrow and I have to scratch my head...

I really don't 'get it'...hedge funds? Doubt it...some eager journalist would have sniffed out that story by now or some disgruntled employee perhaps would have sold the story for much better than .25 cents a post. Besides do you really think anything a basher states on any forum would really have much impact on a stock price?

Just some thoughts, questions and bewilderment on a Sunday night...if anyone has any kind of proof or really good theories on who these new folks are...lets take it to the OT board.

I can use all the help I can get on this one...it just doesn't make much sense.
