Doug, thanks for the response. You stated: "I see no problem with putting the possibility that a member or members of the research team may have bought before the post." Fine...I am also curious how others on the thread feel about this from the standpoint of intellectual honesty (as opposed to the reasoning of not being paid for researching a POW and deserving some sort of reward). Also Doug, please respond to my suggestion that disclaimers contain something to the effect of "this stock may have just been purchased by one or more members of the research team." Almost all publications that recommend stocks or print recommendations from stock pickers contain such a disclaimer...see Individual Investor as just one example; each issue contains a statement with a breakdown of how much of each stock in the "Magic 25" is owned by Wisdom Tree, the hedge fund owned by the magazine's publisher.
