Go*QCOM> "intentional" is possible, but kinda crazy. On gildertech message board, people are pissed. "Subscriber cynicism" as in, Why should I pay $295 for what is free? My guess is that success has descended upon GG faster than his infrastructure could keep up. Trades in his picks have been crazy. Read some of the SI NOPT posts from the date of his July release. People were literally sitting with two browsers open, waiting for GTR to come up at 10:00 EST in one window and ready to click the BUY 100K AT MARKET button in the other window. NOPT went from like 18 to 23 in 3 or 4 minutes. Maybe he should just turn off the web page and announce his picks in a public press release (the "razor"), then sell snail-mail hard copies of GTR for in-depth looks at the technology (the "blades"). Anyway, I don't know why people mind so much; GTR has given subscribers a lot of found money for doing the "Gilder Flip". Ironically, that's not GG's intention, but then success has ways of changing the rules of play.
