We disagree, Sleeper? What did I say to which you take exception? I would argue, though, that big money lurks at SI. It's a useful gauge of sentiment and a source of some great insight. Consider, for example the deconstruction of earnings conference calls that goes on here. An analyst can read a poster's take and learn more than he did by participating. (Look at the CMGI board.) Also, SI is great at assembling links that matter. So fine, buy-siders make their own investment decisions. I hope so. Hey, we're not telling them what to do, and we're not buying their under-perfoming funds. We're always in front of the curve; that's our job. But don't count out the role that we play. Tell you another little secret, too: CEO's are reading these posts...and learning from them. BAM
