Tick Talk

That piece about Japanese Banks that I wrote yesterday, well, the long-winded journalistsare finally covering it today. 

Now for a rant. I submitted my well-researched, cross referenced, prophetic and actionable article to what I consider a respectable financial blog content aggregator and they passed it up because it wasn’t “in-depth.”  Seems they have their priorities wrong. If the weightiest matters are correctly discerned, interpreted for price impact, and then delivered to the masses in a few entertaining lines; isn’t that the highest form of information delivery? Fact is, unnecessarily text-heavy content is a time-wasting ocular burden to most readers (okay, maybe I’m the only one that thinks it sucks). Furthermore, I find it curious that any editor would suggest that I write a novel when explaining what an educated subscriber base should be able to digest in six lines, two graphs and a music video. Maybe their readers aren’t that sharp. Maybe their writers dwell on materially insignificant facts. Maybe that’s why none of their readers or writers post third-party verified investing results like I do [p.s. I'm in cash right now - see my Covestor stats in the column on the right].

I think I’m done with SeekingAlpha. I’m getting too wordy just talking about this, and that can’t be good. In addition, they have that wrought with fraud, abomination of guru service, advertising at their place. I refuse to have my credibility juxtaposed to that scam. A web friend suggested that SA will ”cramp your style.” I think he’s right. My wife observed that they are behind the times - and she’s always right.
