I agree with Charles about the web etiquette thing, but there are some sites that deserve more consideration than others. I could care less about posting The Motley Fool's "articles" which aren't really worth posting anyway - they are more like commercials for their pay services a lot of the time. What kind of etiquette do they have with their misleading headlines and false information bashing SIRI. I have gotten them to fix false information in their articles before....but other times they have allowed it to stand.
I could care less about anything that Rupert Murdoch controls either. This includes Dow Jones, The Wall Street Journal, and Marketwatch. I have spent hours on the phone getting them to correct damaging and false information with their SIRI reporting. I have been treated rudely and hung up on when properly and professionally going through the proper channels to report untruths in their articles and they took forever to make the corrections. I really could care less about posting any of their articles. Have they used any etiquette? How much money have they lost me bashing my SIRI investment with untruths?
I have also gotten Bloomberg to fix damaging and misleading untruths in their SIRI articles. They drag their feet fixing them though......
Anything from the NAB propaganda machine and other bashing sites like 24/7 Walstreet and Today's Financial News etc. I could care less about too. They use no etiquette at all with their bashing and lies. Cramer's TheStreet.com is another website that I have no respect for. I have gone through hell getting them to fix untruths in their bashing articles and was treated very rudely. They really dragged their feet fixing anything and never note that the article was corrected. Etiquette?
I am more sensitive to smaller reputable websites - I never post full articles from Orbitcast for instance....
I always post links to everything I post though. I would argue that having their links posted on this site does nothing but drive traffic to their site that wouldn't otherwise be there - whether the full article is posted or not. In fast moving markets I side on getting the news out to my comrades as soon as possible. I try......
This is a smaller community of fellow SIRI investors trying to help each other....many down huge on their SIRI investment. No one is trying to financially gain from the posting of articles here. Charles is the only one who could potentially financially benefit and get flak from other websites in regards to any content being reproduced here. He has got to say stuff like he is saying. He wants to be respected in the web community and show respect to other websites. Charles is a stand up guy and I really believe that he means well...
