... with a dash of flash mob and viral marketing.
- nixass 6y agoWhile giving financial institutions their own medicine.
- babyshake 6y agoAre we totally sure there isn't an element of astroturfing?
- dhbanes 6y agoShort sellers participate in this all the time.
- drawkbox 6y agoIndeed. Hedge funds by nature skim from volatility. When they hold short positions they have "partners" that short and distort. Everything is astroturfing/selling pretty much nowadays. Social media is not reality, though astroturfing/distorting can become reality for better or for worse, depends on your position/tribe. What is on the surface is rarely what is the driving force underneath.
