Exactly. That is one reason they tried to create a complaint in the UK recently. These nefarious interests never give up. It’s a professional endeavor clearly. It’s a job.
No one does all of this for years on end just for kicks, but then never disclosing the basis of their ongoing interest. That secrecy is also a huge part of that game.
It’s why the regulators like to see such disclosures. Knowing that an opinion comes with a potential pecuniary bias is not everything, but when people act beyond the norm, or seem to say things without a basis of exaggerate, one can account for those tendencies. The inability to evaluate that is one of the problems with the perma-bears. They insist that their view is objective, but there is no way to evaluate those claims and the persistence and irrationality combined with the total disregard for basic facts suggests otherwise.
