WOW! When writers don’t know what they are talking about!

excerpts:

>>When writers don’t know what they are talking about
Writers of investing articles want an audience, of course. In fact, they are paid more for more readers, either directly by page view, such as at SeekingAlpha.com, or by ad clicks on their own blogs. So the sexier the article, the more profitable. And last year pointing out 3D printing stocks was sexy. It was easy to point out companies such as 3D Systems (DDD) and Stratasys (SSYS), the two pure plays in the space. But offering up “undiscovered” 3D printing-related companies was the hot ticket to a popular article. <<

The point is, just because an author — even on a prominent (and excellent) site like Investors Business Daily, and especially on Seeking Alpha (where anyone can submit an article) — says a company is a 3D printing company, you must do your own research to find out for yourself.

I’ve had a few readers contact me about the company, Massive Dynamics (MSSD). Since I follow the 3D printing industry closely, I saw the company’s first press release talking about 3D printing as soon as it came out. I was excited about perhaps finding a new company in the space in which to invest. But after reading the release, I was left wondering, “wait, where are the 3D printing products?”<<
