I think I get it now. When those that have been posting for years provide their analysis it's opinion. When new posters post their own it's "unsubstantiated theory".

I disagree about the best way to express these concerns. While it is certainly acceptable to contact IR directly, and encouraging that Jim responds so promptly, relying only on notes issued from the company does not constitute a proper due diligence plan, in my unsubstantiated theory. My preference when engaging IR of any company is typically to write a letter and let it sit for a day or so while I review it for clarity, accuracy, and detailed yet concise questions. I approach critical, non-urgent issues in my professional career the same way. I bear no issue with those that asked immediately, but I would have let it sit for 24 hours and then asked the pertinent question. This does not alleviate the desire and benefit of discussion with other investors.

The analysis and insight that individual investors can provide is an invaluable tool in this age. There's no better way to get this than to actively engage others. If you want facts, as others have pointed out, the SEC filings are the only place to find those. Anything else is opinion. Anyone making investment decisions based solely on a forum post is a fool. Likewise, those that believe anonymous posters have the ability to influence the charts with these posts is equally as foolish.
