    • Garmin: Clearly Something's Not Right [view article]
      I clicked on a SeekingAlpha link on UnderArmour (NYSE: UA) the other day. The piece cited their inventory build as a negative. The writer admitted to not knowing much about their product, but said his kid doesn't like it anymore but his wife is digging the products. Via e-mail I pointed out to the writer that the Beijing Olympics might be a cause for the inventory build. He replied personally, promptly, and very professionally.

      Roger, I'm a neophyte in stock trading, but I've been a writer and editor for 30 years. Writing Rule #1: Write what you know about. Rule #2: Respond kindly to readers who take the time to comment on your work. Rule #3: Don't blame your editors publically, and if you have a legitimate problem with what they're doing, discuss it and figure out how to make it better in the future. For example, send a few suggested headlines and ask that they run the final one past you before publishing.
