Right on Jack, especially your last paragraph there - soliciting business should remain a grey area imho, there is a quid pro quo for both SI and its membership in that considerable education comes from some of those who advertise, particularly the three you mention there, Teresa, dr bob, and A@P ... the latter makes for great entertainment even if you don't learn anything, and for intelligentspeculator.com i have a soft spot, i learned a lot there just lurking, never paid a nickel.
Jenna i don't know, don't play US stocks much, prefer lurking John Pitera's, MDA, Ike's, CFZ for general market direction etc ... she should probably grow a thicker skin if she wants to survive on the net, imho ... those going off their nut criticising her would probably invent themselves a life if they didn't get a rise out of her ... but should she have links to her site on her thread - sure, why not, far as i'm concerned ... the little special deal with SI where she's always on the hot list, well that's a bit dodgey, but amusing.
An absolute ban on advertising would wipe out a lot of interesting stuff here imho ... community standards should rule, as much as they can after SI makes a buck [touch of realism there, sorry -g-] ... as a member of the community, i figure as long as they're not touting some blatant non-reporting garbage and as long as i have the right to click Next or not click on them in the first place, let 'em be.
There's something about self-appointed gurus though ... Jorje poses a relevant question here - Subject 31639 |
