@atpfm I think you’re quite right to put in the disclaimer, but in my opinion you are way too skeptical about Hunterbrook. It’s under a lot of scrutiny and a lot of its credibility is on the line. And yes, it’s true that the company makes money by the stock going down, but that is the premise of their model: their idea is that they can fund investigative journalism by identifying real problems and investing appropriately prior to publishing.
@atpfm Hunterbrook has an enormous incentive to be truthful because their strategy only works if people believe them. One bad story and the market will stop reacting to their reporting.
@atpfm It is basically the same business structure as Bloomberg, which publishes all its reporting to the Bloomberg terminal first so that clients can trade early. Instead of having clients, Hunterbrook just does the trading in house.
