There's an interesting article by Kevin Lichtman in the September/October issue of Online Investor. It's called: "Barbed Wires: Knowing the difference between a press release and a news report can save you money" (page 80). And here's the lead quotation: "Business Wire says the responsibility for interpreting raw data, at least on the Internet, has shifted from professional editors to end users." And of course there's mention of Webnode. Check it out. See also another story: "Can We Talk? A sceptic's guide to profiting from stock boards" (page 33ff). In this one, lolol, a post by our friend Mike Kuhns is quoted. One of those in which he darkly hints that I have a felonious past. Ooops, he really should be more careful. I'm afraid that if you want to read these you'll have to buy a copy; ironically, Online Investor doesn't offer an edition of the magazine at its website.
