Bulletin Boards can be dangerous places. But you knew that, right?
Sure. How about a BB which by some (pompous) accounts is where the serious, science based discussions on biotech stocks happen - like iHub? Well, even there, and in spite of the over eager, finger-on-delete board monitors, some pretty dangerous folks are lurking. Here are my top two.
Biotech Researcher, aka BR, enemy no. 1.
He has been posting for eternity, before the continents separated, and used to be a long. Or so the legend goes. This longevity has given him a certain credibility which, for many, makes him trustworthy. And, well, that Dr. Strangelove photo is kinda charming, no? Not so much. Trust is the first thing a scam artist will try to get from you...before he picks your pocket.
He has also mastered, in a chimp-like sort of way, the vocabulary of biotech. This helps with trust. But at the end of the day, and the beginning and the middle, he's pumping for Ariad's demise...cheer leading on every dip - down we go!! Who knows why. Short position? Recruited by a hedge fund to sow doubt? Just an asshole? It doesn't matter. His posts are full of vitriol, systematically manipulate fear, sow doubt, and are without merit. He's dangerous, and he will gleefully mislead you to make foolish investment decisions.
2DaMoon, aka 2da.
This one is a different story. He bet big before the flash crash, lost even bigger, and is bitter bitter bitter. BITTER! He's angry with Harvey B, wants the board to resign, and his diatribes roll from his clakety old keyboard in a frothy, rabid stream of consciousness. There's rage, intense rage, and much of it with good reason. He trusted Ariad with his life savings (so the legend goes), and they betrayed his trust. But now he needs to get a clue, and a life. His iHub poison have killed that board.
So, long or short, be safe. There are dangerous people out there, and they are prowling for prey in the most unlikely places. And there are also powerful voices, to which we should, your's truly included, who deserve more respect and attention.
