it was amazing, even here on HN, how this analyst report spread like wildfire - while the counter analysis was ignored, both in comments as well as a separate posting.
the global reach of these things is amazing, all tech "reporters" worldwide seem to copypaste in realtime, this piece popped up in germany, etc. right after it hit the US. all the webfrontends for traditional newspapers have separate, lower payed staff that often is nerd-heavy, so more web/tech news make it on their frontpages. and none of them, ever, seem to check facts.
it is an amazing time to manipulate the stock market.
