I know for a fact two people on SI who bought stocks based on Voltaire's recommendations, specifically to load the boat with Qualcomm in early 2000 when it started to slide. You don't know them because they lurk the Porch. One of them could afford it, one couldn't. Yes, as volitional individuals they made their own choices. They had no business relying on Voltaire instead of doing their own due diligence, as countless others no doubt have learned to their detriment. marginmike has been right all along about Qualcomm, and he tried to warn people. I personally witnessed how he was treated by Voltaire and others back then, including you. It's painful to watch, just as it's been painful to watch naive people who could ill afford it lose their nest egg in this ridiculous joke of a market. Maybe the lead lemming doesn't owe any duty to the ones that follow him, but we aren't lemmings. I think it's irresponsible to pretend to have knowledge that you don't have and give advice when you don't know what you're talking about. There is a huge difference between saying "I like Rambus and bought some Rambus stock" and saying "you should buy Rambus, too."
