>>many investors appreciate the info...<<
As do I, just simply pointing out that you have a financial incentive which should always be considered when one analyzes your "info", no different than when a fund manager touts a stock, it is always good to know if the fund is a market maker in the stock, there is obviously an inherent conflict of interest, such that, the individual investor must always be wary of the tout "shading" or "spinning" relevant information to enhance their financial position. One should always be cognizant of the potential motivation of the purveyor of information.
Your Ligand thread is entitled "Ligand Breakout..." LGND has been trying to "breakout" for nearly a year and for all I know this may be the real deal, however, I will tell you that I am certainly glad I did not buy into LGND last year around December when I first started monitoring the "breakout thread", had I done so by now I would just about be "breaking even". Same thing for AMLN before the selloff. My "comfort" level with AMLN had much more to do with J&J's partnership with the company which one can see now, was no insulation from "disappointment" on the street.
How you can interpret "unabashed tout" as not being negative in it's connotation is beyond me....Maybe it's the "unabashed" part, I mean if you're going to tout, you might as well be unabashed about it, so when it comes to touting, you're unashamed....so be it...just so it's understood... |
