What is the point of this post?

Do you want MungoFitch to apologize for making a recommendation? Is it to warn others to do their own research and not blindly follow a post? Is it to discourage MungoFitch (or any poster) from making a specific stock recommendation?

I encourage anyone / all of us to occasionally post specific recommendations rather than just commenting on the market. I appreciate when people do it sharing their analysis and loc. It’s a lot of work to do it well and I appreciate it deeply. Not enough of do that and it’s a gift when someone does share the rationale and data. I learn from it, appreciate it, AND NEVER BELIEVE THEY OWE ME A POSITIVE OUTCOME.

My investment decisions are my own. I have only appreciation for those willing to put their view out there (what good is a board where people don’t make specific stick recommendations) as long as their rationale and logic are clear. MungoFitch may be wrong with some calls but I have followed him enough to learn his ways of thinking and to figure out when I think he is wrong and why I disagree. Also where I might find things interesting that he would never invest in.

I don’t have a problem with holding people accountable by demonstrating or pointing out where their thesis went wrong. That seems very much like what we should be doing. But is that the point of this post? What is the outcome you are looking for?
