Where are your posts for proof Xmortal?

I can't see any ramping posts on KMS....just commented I made 55 bags on it on OFEX not the LSE....it went up from 17p to 20.75, but sadly I am not influential enough to ramp it 100 fold :-)


As RAB is down another 1p @ 37p bid I would suggest your 1 before Xmas is a ramp statement...Xmortal.

xmas still 6 months ahead and RAB will; perform. unlike KMS. you know u were ramping those silly shares.

Wish you'd pointed those out 3 or 4 years ago.

Helluva short. Can't see much left in it though.

;-))

Meanwhile . . . back to the original topic:

Can anyone tell me . . .

If someone ramps a share (e.g. talks enthusiastically about how high it will rise) and they have done their research well and the share does, indeed rocket: Then is that person a ramper - or are they a really good egg who passed on to us the benefit of their hard work and trading acumen?

You see, it seems to me that one or two people have been branded as rampers on here and yet my perception of them is that they have given a lot of good advice and been right many times. But, of course, everyone will pick a few dogs now and then. Can they be blamed for that? After all the old adage of DYOR is axiomatic on this BB.

Stick AFD on your watchlists for tomorrow am.

A deffinite go'er, if ya don't buy it watch it.

Now that sounds soooo "rampy" doesn't it !! LOL

But as gurumaister says above, what defines a ramper tho ? do papers ramp ? do brokers ramp ? if someone does loads of research and posts that a rise is imminent and it does there still branded a ramper ? lets see AFD tomorrow maybe, am I or aren't I this be the question ??

just my opinion and as always be happy !!

Would just like to point out the only legitimate piece of ramping yes or no??? I can find on the whole site, check out the Britannia thread re- to one piece of of a post that gives 1 million and then another poster points out that this is wrong as the piece from UQ analyst .com was altererd to 700,000 with no subsequent alteration from the original poster although he continues to post on a daily basis. Look at the time lapse.

cheers GF. PS, make your own minds up about that.

Aaahh!! I see it all now. AFD were well up ay closing yesterday - then LEEWINK gives us his best and honest advice this morning and - Hey Presto! - AFD have gone down again instead of up as predicted.

I think we now have all the prrof we need that LEEWINK is a ramper.

:)

I think you'll find that this board has the same amount of Rampers as any other.
The same Rampers appear on so many other boards under different names thats all.
They are not capable of trading without the help of others who are so gullible. .
Hopping.

There are only two types or reasons to invest, Fundamental or Technical. Any idiot that takes a position because of hear say deserves what they get. I have also seen some people imply that suehelen ramps, well the shares do go up ( from the ones I have seen ) so perhaps that is more reliable than a tip, get in early and get out quick.
PS suehelen I like your posts and have no view on the point of ramping.

Stockpicker are you suggesting that everything printed as fundamentals or seen as chart reflections are correct and honest reflections of a the true state of a company's position.

If only it was so!!

CYH = 150P before Christmas

Fred1new - You could start a whole new thread on this. Bit early for this so I will try to clarify what I meant, Nothing in life is a given but the market as we know is driven by greed or fear, which for the most is acted on by news,jumping on the band wagon or bailing out. Long and short term invest in different ways so this has an effect on the way each of us buy or sell. A lot of the companies on the board are smaller with people investing on longer term. As we know these stocks and can be volatile on any news flow which can be minimal and some may not move for months. I have now closed all but two of my long term investments and generally trade shorter term 1-4 by spreads, so for me there has to be momentum which I think will drive the price long or short. Market news can do this, but as most of the news is already known by the big boys and for the most already acted on in the opening price (assume that the majority are working not day trading)that is of little value, most of the gain will already have been taken and you are left with little margin or get caught on the reversal. Fundamentals (if thats your bag) do allow a view on the company for the statement due which may drive the price, I obviously use technical as for me that is the picture of what the investors feel. I dont see any true connection between the charts or the companies true position, just the way the price and trend is going. To me it makes no difference what they do or make, just what the sentement of the market or market sector is. Yes I get caught as we all do, thats the fun.

100 agree with :-

Market news... but most of the news is already known by the big boys.

I said this 6 months ago but - as nearly always happens - I suffered terrible
personal abuse.

I agree with the majority of what you write. It is difficult to swim aqgainst the tide. But having always been a coward I don't often go out of my depth if I can help it.

I am getting a little more sympathetic to the use of charts and think, or hope, using them may improve on my returns. (Long or short term) But I think if I can combine them with fundamentals I may be led astray a little less often. I can see the horses galloping but it is the bloody fences which frighten me. Especially in the dark.
Have Fun.
