On HotCopper they call it down-ramping, and it is considered more heneous than up-ramping LOL.quiggles said:Thommo,
I think we'll get a heads up if we look like crossing certain lines (some will doubtless blindside us anyway, much as life tends to do).
I really think you were being overcautious, just as I'm certain that you are sincere and acting in the best interests of posters and lurkers together.
Just out of curiousity (which I can afford, not being a cat) is there a crime of anti ramping where you spread malicious rumours about a company in which you've just brought a swag of put options?
You've probably detected where the rest of this thought is going....
And no! I will not plead guilty.

Oh! I really dont care that much from a legal point of view. Maybe at my age I have an interest in form and manners is all. With investing one size does not fit all. Possibly posters could think that there will only be one reader of their posts and there is no way of knowing if that reader is sophisticated or a novice.
