George Gilder: Please Respond
The contention on this board can be eliminated immediately if you provide full disclosure of your and /or your companies' holdings. And update it before the next article, Forbes, newsletter or otherwise.
Otherwise, the assumption SHOULD be that you have a serious buck or two to make "hyping" particular companies, under the guise of "technology futurism" or whatever you want to call it.
IMO, and without naming names, at least one of your latest "picks" is/are nothing but hot air as far as their technology is concerned, their IP and customers are seriously wanting, and their boards are getting ready to cash in...but their stock price is way up since you mentioned them.
Under the assumptions above, it SHOULD be assumed you have a position with them, and you stand to gain. You might say it is the responsibility of your readers to do their own DD, but that is a crock. You know most people do not do that, and that a few bucks on a penny stock results in big returns. So the excuse that you "basically never sell" does not cut it. Why do you invest? Give me a break. "Basically" is a loophole a mile wide.
This game is wrong, and you know it. You have the responsibility to fix it, or lose all semblance of credibility left to you.
Better clean it up, IMO.
