Every investment professional starts to roll her eyes when a private investor starts to give her investment tips. We all know instinctively that these tips aren’t going to work out, but we never really had the data to prove it. But now, I can show you the performance of stock tips shared on a prominent investment website.
Joachim, appreciate the insight and I find this particular research interesting, mainly because I was just solicited by the director of Seeking Alpha to become a contributing member via a Twitter exchange. I tracked the link and the data the author is pulling is from 2012-2013. Obviously a lot has changed since then. I've also heard that SA will decline articles that are just a recap of earnings. Other people I know who have contributed at SA in 2013 had earning recaps declined because their focus wasn't forward-looking enough. Whatever that means.
To my surprise, they found that articles with a lot of numbers in them were read through less often but shared more often by the readers that made it all the way through it. Initially, I thought that should be a good sign because articles with a lot of numbers in them may be better researched and better underpin the case they make. I keep reading latest updates on tejkohli.co.uk to make sure I am on right track. Thanks for sharing this article.
