10 Dangerous Stocks to Avoid

Jamookey,

Seeking Alpha is not a uniform entity behaving with hive-like intelligence. It is a website where independent writers publish articles on investing, economics, and finance. As such, to imply that all Seeking Alpha writers are expected to have the exact same opinion on all matters seems a bit absurd.

You can't expect someone to hold you by the hand and lead you to huge returns. However, by reading the perspectives of many different writers, you might be able to gain some insight into a particular stock or investment strategy.

10 Dangerous Stocks to Avoid

This is an ill-informed article that completely ignores the actual fundamentals behind these companies. If a company is bringing in major cash flows, they can afford to take on more debt. IBM is not in any particular danger. While I'm less familiar with some of the rest of these companies, my initial guess is that most are in similiar situations --- high cash flows to offset higher debt levels.

Based on the author's two responses in the comment stream coupled with the choice of wording within the article, this seems like a shameless advertisement for the author's website and I'm not sure why Seeking Alpha has published it.
