Yahoo Finance dumping Seeking Alpha!

Good news in that PAL has been the victim of several sensationalist one-sided drive-by bash attacks this year by SA contributor "Fun Trading", sending the stock price reeling:

6/27: 18% drop (.34 to .28) ("Collision with Reality")

4/6: 38% drop (.48 to .30) ("Possible to Avoid Bankruptcy?")

2/12: 11% drop (.35 to .31) ("Death Spiral")

PAL has not been the only target of what is illegal stock manipulation. According to an article in The Deal Pipeline:

"Paid stock promotions, masquerading as investment opinion articles and blogs, have been popping up on the company news pages of Yahoo! Finance, the stock research website Seeking Alpha and, some observers suspect, on the website of Forbes magazine. Promotions whose authors are not identified or who don't disclose their compensation, or that are not grounded in fact, can under SEC regulations, be illegal."

Seeking Alpha: Good riddance. Although Seeking Alpha is trying to spin being dumped by Yahoo Finance, it is pretty clear that the move is due to SA stock manipulators sullying the Yahoo Finance brand.
