There was an even bigger fan club for Dialog/Brightstation/Smartlogik before it went belly up. They were posting optimistic views and ramping it the day before it went under. There were huge numbers of investors who posted daily on its threads and would hear nothing against the company. The company used to issue RNSs all the time detailing supposed deals which turned out to have very little actual monetary value to the company. I used to post on there as I do here and got plenty of abuse at a much higher degree than here. They raised more money from share issues and the investors went along with it as they said that deals were just around the corner and almost signed. That sounds a bit familiar.
