Joe,
I am the former Chief Financial Officer of several different public companies who changed career-directions several years ago to become a financial writer. I've had some success at this, as The Napeague Letter was recently named to Forbes Magazine's "Best of the Web" list.
Sometimes I write about stocks that are being "excessively promoted" - and in some cases these stocks are ones that you have recommended to your readers. I have not targeted you in any way.
In fact, I have written about "overvalued stocks on the NYSE, NASDAQ." For an example, please see <http://napeague.com/RS-Pillars%20of%20NASDAQ.html>. Because my E-mail indicated that my readers were becoming bored with this topic, and because the situation began to correct itself, I have cut back on this content.
To the best of my recollection, I have never in my life had any contact with Knight Securities, but, of course, you can believe anything that you wish. Likewise, a group of shorters would have problems working with me, as at any point in time I am generally researching a fairly large number of stocks.
Hopefully, this clears up any questions about my motives. For anyone who is interested in taking a look at The Napeague Letter, a link to it can be found by clicking on the blue "Bob Davis" at the top of this post.
