Personally I don't pay attention to articles or pumping and usually judge a stock by historical movement only.
invest2win- I like to look at the charts and the fundamentals. Knowledgeable and insightful posts or articles in reputable publications written by informed experts are valid and valuable DD.
Ranting over imagined agenda or evil plots—while emotionally satisfying—is rarely accurate and never helpful.
I also appreciate your point of view, best of luck!
