Thanks. It would be interesting to get their data and see how many read each of the articles they get alerts for. I'm sure there would be some good sentiment data in there somewhere, especially the widely followed stocks. The trouble is, whatever is widely followed gets written about more since the bigger audience means more pay for hits. Those that do real in depth analysis often have those articles selected for their "Pro" subscription where readers have to pay a fairly high subscription rate. Given they don't publish model portfolios of how their advice works out, to me it is nearly as worthless as many of the goo roos here who are well followed but don't do a model portfolio you can track and duplicate. I'm kind of a ham so I like the exposure and you are correct, I got a few new subs after nailing the Feb 11th bottom after pointing out the other two lows were also good times to buy. But, you'd think they'd knock my doors down given how many get alerts so my guess is it tells you just how scared individuals still are overall... If nothing else, it helps me as another gauge of sentiment.
