    They do it quite regularly. positively reviewing a share so that it goes up then changing their minds so that it goes down.


    I'm surprised by just how responsive share prices are to their drivel.

    Lloyds must be their number 1 share to 'blog' about, most days they'll post some so call analysis, one day it's why it's likely to go up up up, next day why it's a no hoper. Laughable content :eek:

    I like their podcast. Not sure I have learned a great deal for me personally - but it has insight.

    I tried another episode and remember why I stopped listening - it's all American. Their views on the US housing market and social security are as much use to me as an invisible cheese grater unfortunately, however good the insight is.

    Unless there is an English one?

    The yahoo finance site often has links to articles my MF.

    I remember about October time they ran an article saying will the FTSE reach 7000 by Christmas. The following week the article was will the troubles in Ukraine drag the FTSE down to 5000 by Christmas.

    For my money a complete bunch of tw*ts.

    Today's offering is why the FTSE 100 could hit 8000 within a year
