Ownership of a stock is not prerequisite to having a valid opinion of the company. In fact, the SEC takes the position that owning stock in a company likely skews your actions and words favorably toward the company. Hence the government requires most appointees to divest themselves of any stock that their government position puts them in a place that they might influence the price of the stock. Again, the SEC requires someone promoting a stock via the media to disclose to the public whether or not they have been paid or given stock in exchange for their "services". And finally, I am a paying member of the IHub and will darn well say anything anytime about any stock I choose as long as I abide by the TOS.
So I will NOT support this company , regardless of the fact that I sold long ago, nor "must" anyone else.
