Here's a hypothetical situation. What if MGS has a large stake relative to his own wealth in Apple stock. Would it be a bad thing for him to continue to write articles assailing Google and pumping Apple? I don't know if he has any inside knowledge or not but could what he writes which influences many readers who could be potential investors be considered illegal?
I really have no idea but if anybody does I'd like to hear it. I get really suspicious when I hear guys like Gruber and Siegler have such strong one-sided opinions about things like this when they reach such a wide audience.
- funkah 15y agoGruber has explicitly stated before that he doesn't own AAPL. I remember him saying this on his podcast so I don't have a link. No idea about Siegler, I wish people would stop paying that guy attention.
- oldstrangers 15y agoMG has said a few times that he does not own stock in Apple.
- cooldeal 15y agoGruber makes a lot of money from RSS ads($6500/ad), thus the more he plays to his fan base, the more money he makes. http://daringfireball.net/feeds/sponsors/ http://daringfireball.net/feeds/sponsors/
