Well the thing is anyone can write an article for SA. How it gets distributed is another matter. If the author is articulate and presents coherent rhetoric, be it fact or fiction, they can manage to get included for "premium" distribution. The bar here seems to be whether the editor feels it's content that paid subscribers will believe gives them some sort of advantage (why else would anyone pay to subscribe?). Those articles are released to paid subscribers 3 days prior to release to the general public. That's become a favorite avenue for manipulators, because the subscribers believe they're getting an inside scoop. Unfortunately, as it more often tends to be shorts as opposed to longs who gravitate towards writing highly manipulated fact & fiction, those articles are often associated with planned short attacks on the day the article is finally released to the general public.

If they fall short of the premium bar but it still has some merit, it can be included for general distribution as an article. Then there's the one that don't even meet the editorial standards for SA. Those are relegated to blogs.

I don't want to imply the author of that piece in particular is short PEIX. The bottom line reasoning seemed to be more about driving a migration of cash over to earnings speculation on REX & GPRE.
