Take a look at this thread for example, over 2000 reader bookmarks, how many do you see posting here ? It may come as a surprise to you that the readers read, in many cases they even apprehend, just as you appear to apprehend. However you fail to see that I am selling, not buying. I see you are a newcomer so I am guessing you have never had to deal with Anthony on SI, his record here is much better than yours. Every small investor who was an SI reader and avoided all of Anthony's short picks got a direct benefit, indirectly every destroyed promotion provided benefits to the entire investment community. Small investors usually don't short stocks, they go long, they speculate with some of their money and try to safeguard most of it. Criminal promoters make up stuff to induce investors to buy stocks, they use phony doctorates, pay for scam studies, obtain professionals who are willing to whore their reputations, you name it, they do it. They need to do that because at the end of the day, if nobody buys the crap stock, nobody loses. Every crap stock pointed out by every bear benefits every small investor, except those who have already been hoodwinked and robbed by the thieves promoting the criminal scam POS stock. Are you suggesting that small investors suckered into buying scam promotions should get a chance to screw somebody else ? Are you going to buy NSOLThe outcome of the trial isn't really important to the readers on SI, they do not get to decide that bit. People who like Anthony are not going to stop liking him because the jury said he did another bad thing. Anthony's defense can hold water here, even if he gets convicted, SI is like that. As Pluvia pointed out, Anthony and his website members did do some excellent work but as a small investor, I ask myself, do I want to end up buying NSOL ? Input is a good thing, Output is a good thing, Kaput is not a good thing.
