Seeking Alpha publishes articles from completely inexperienced, incompetent researchers. My company was the subject of one. Guy has a day job unrelated to finance but fancies himself some kind of stock market detective. He has published several articles about my company that are purely speculative and not grounded in reality. Our attorney has been in contact with the editor, who seems not to care.

It's clear their agenda is to influence stock prices. They're not ethical at all.

Humm, I've never heard of that website. Thanks for pointing it out. The "I can't live on a bazillion dollars" story is pretty common here.
