Just an opinion here.

Even non-credible sources (not saying this one is or isn't) can influence the stock - usually short term. One could argue this is a momentum-driven market, and the herd rules. Thus, a source with a large exposure (not sure how large on this one) has to be considered. IIO does appear to be mentioned rather often.

If you've been burned by them in the past, it is reasonable to think that there's a scar. And thanks for bringing this to the thread. Maybe others will avoid making a similar mistake (which appears to be your motive).

Best Regards,

Nick Papa

I found that the rag was damn scary. IF you had a hugely diversified portfolio you were OK but if you selectively picked you could have lost you shirt. I have not seen their asinine ads lately.
But the article was good. Not out of line from others.
He did get Maria. I wept.
Good luck
