Using SEO to manipulate stock prices

Nigel Farage said:

Anyways, thanks for all your years of loyal service, compliance with every rule no matter how stupid and obedience to anyone that had any symbol of authority, even if it was a stick or a tree branch. Go get the stick, boy! Go get it! GOOD BOY! Here's your Scooby Snack. Good Boy. Now, SIT! STAY! Roll over. Play dead. Ka-pow! Good Boy!!

Indeed... Just because 5,000 people do something stupid, doesn't mean it's not stupid.

It's an old analogy, but a useful one;
If a law was passed tomorrow making it illegal to breathe, would you follow that law? Not likely - instead, you'd say 'this is a stupid law, I shall disregard it'. Meaning, of course, that you see it fit to exercise judgment about which laws deserve your adherence and which don't.
The only question, then, is - at what point do you choose to exercise that judgment? How 'stupid' exactly does the law need to be?

It's not about doing something stupid, it's about stealing. Nigel suggested his creative way to sucker people into thinking a stock would be worth something and partake in flat out fraud by pretending to be another person through a proxy. It's not about laws, it's about morals. It'd be one thing if he was trying to sell a product he created, but tricking people into paying for something that is worthless is lying and stealing and it ruins people's lives. There's a reason why pump and dump is illegal, because people fall for it and lose their life savings to scammers. If someone scammed Nigel on BHW, I guarantee you he'd be the first one to open a Shitlist thread about it. Or if he doesn't like someone, make something up and open a shitlist thread. That isn't "blackhat", it's a scam to hurt someone else financially, which is in turn destroying their lives.

I wish. Trust me, if I had an idea that was making me money, I sure as fuck wouldn't be openly posting it on an open forum, even if it was legal. Oh, and btw. It's a blackhat forum. Don't be surprised here, I mean get your digitalis ready for the shock, but there are people here that do things that other people consider "wrong". Shocking, and hard-to-believe, I know. Anyways, thanks for all your years of loyal service, compliance with every rule no matter how stupid and obedience to anyone that had any symbol of authority, even if it was a stick or a tree branch.

Just because it's "blackhat" doesn't mean "scam". It just means breaking the rules, not necessarily being unethical or immoral or hurting somebody else for your own personal gain. I've dabbled with the dark side, I know what I am personally capable of, but in the end I choose to veer away from practices that destroy people's lives. You can keep pretending to think it's cool and trying to tear me down over it or whatever, but really you're part of the problem with the economy.

Anyway, I will step back again, let you guys run rampant with your fraudulent ideas. It's becoming increasingly obvious that you are either obsessed with being criminals or just plain immature and probably still live at home with your mamas.

I see you didn't read what I was quoting when I responded, and quoted me out of context. I can indeed see that it helped you make your point, but please don't quote me out of context.

HaHa.. The Famous Term: "Buy Low, Sell High" comes to mind. Buy rock bottom price shares and anything positive caused by spamming etc would have only one affect on the price ith it being so low to begin with it. And thats increase in price. Then simply sell before she inevitably drops again soon after!
