lol - you give financial/biz type reporters too much credit.
this is a true story regarding another stock i own. there were a number of bearish analysts including one in particular that ALWAYS got quoted in reuters/AP etc etc stories (all main pubs) and so of course the articles always seemed slanted to the bearish side. one of the few bullish analysts (david miller - biotech stock research) asked a few of the reporters why this one bearish guy was always quoted. answer? because his last name began with an "A" and he was the first on the list!!!
so if reporters from some of the "best" outlets are this poor/lazy, how deep do you think these 3rd rate reporters are really digging?
oh and by the way, that bearish analyst had a sell rating and target price of $1 on this stock. as i speak, this stock is breaking an all-time high at $35.50 (from a low of 2.00 last year).
