OFF TOPIC
Bingo. You wanted info but, it wasn't practical for you to get it. The contributors would have to be registered with our organization. A quick reference check and resume may be all that would be needed to authenticate the motives of our group.
A key point would be that the contributors themselves could not solicit an opinion on a company that was not requested by the outside user. Therefore, the motives would be rather straigtforward, to provide the skinny! Obviously, a contributor could ask a friend to request info on a company they are in cahoots to hype but, we'd have to make every effort to discourage it. Also, this thread would only provide tangible, common sense, everyday reports. There would be not self fulfilling hyping going on. Someone asks for infor, we give it and that's it.
I think it would be good to model it after a news wire organization like Reuters, Business Wire, Dow Jones, etc., and have freelance agreements with our contributors. All we aim to do is to share information that is already known, or easily obtained (by walking down the street to the shop).
The internet provides us with unlimited information at our fingertips, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. It's always there. Communication is seamless. But there are two things about the net that concern me: 1) Organization of the information; and 2) authenticity of the information. We can solve both for a niche of investors.
I'm rather serious about this and would entertain anymore thoughts, feedback, volunteers (contributors). |
