    • Options Trader: Thursday Outlook [view article]
      Is it really possible for someone to be _this_ ignorant and write an investment column? Or is it a prerequisite?

      Meredith Whitney is an analyst, not an investor. She has always been very clear about the horizon of they analysis. There are fluctuations in the short term, and an investor can profit from those fluctuations. So this writer made a short term profit. Does that nullify the fundamentals of the underlying analysis? Sure, if you're unable to see beyond the tip of your nose.

      The weatherman reports it's going to be an exceedingly hot day. A writer feels unusually cool that afternoon. Of course that means the weatherman was wrong!

      And the ongoing underlying assumption that one analyst somehow moves the markets totally arbitrarily is simply ignorant. You're a financial writer, Phil (or at least you think you are). Try moving the market a fraction of a point in any direction.       Jun 12 03:44 PM

      I finally get it: Seeking Alpha consists entirely of columnists with no credibility and no particular skills. If it wasn't for Yahoo creating links to this site from their finance section, no one would even know that Seeking Alpha exists. And that is only as it should be.

      P.S. I am a self-gratification expert, I guess by SA's standards I should have my own column, too!       Apr 08 04:42 AM

      Being too early is almost as bad as being too late. Being vague and general is never preferable to specifics. And quoting Shakespeare, Nora Desmond and Cecil B. DeMille has the same immediacy as etching your analysis on tree bark. Mar 31 04:17 PM
    • Emerging Markets Definitely Due for a Pullback [view article]
      Headline: "DEFINITELY DUE...."

      Summation: "But hey, what do I know...?"

      Conclusion: If you have a mind, sir, make it up!       Mar 26 04:27 AM
    • Canadian Energy Income: Falling Well Short of the Hype [view article]
      Hey, what happened to the rest of this article? Did the writer just get bored and ditch it? Comparisons to other CANROYs? Conclusions? Summation? Recommendation? Dec 31 04:06 AM
