When you write an article, you have to give a background. The title of the article written by Brandon was "Let Hime Without Sirius XM Sin Cast the First Stone", with a premise of everyone makes mistakes. In that spirit, he listed some of the more recent mistakes made by a NUMBER of people, none of which he listed by name. He listed mistakes from street.com, SB, and fool.com. Is Morritz going to start bashing Brandon now? He made fun of him... BOOO F*%$ING HOOO.
Yes, Brandon has made mistakes and so has Tyler, and so has Rick Munnariz, and so has Morritz, so have I and so has everyone else writing about Satellite Radio. It is the nature of the business. The more times you step up to the plate, the more times you run the risk of making a mistake. Brandon steps up to the plate more than anyone else out there... ANYONE. That means that he risks making more mistakes than anyone, but I guarantee that at least I for one get more overall information or perspective from him than anyone else out there too because he DOES put more information out there.
The disclaimers in this site clearly state that we are not financial advisors and that everyone should do their own due dilligance. If ANYONE invests strictly on Brandon's article, or my article, or Cramer's article, or Tyler's articles, they are idiots. And if anyone here fits this discription: I do not exclude present company.
Tyler's response to Brandon was immature, childish, and completely uncalled for IMO. If he has personal issues, he should take care of them PERSONALLY and PRIVATELY and grow the hell up. Personally, it was TS's (and his partner's for that matter) Holier than Thou attitude and Brandon's passion that led me to leave SB in the first place...
Tyler, I have the utmost respect for your writing... you do a damn good job of doing it. My respect for you as a person though? Different story.
