And back to your point Ray, some of the authors are purposefully hiding poor records.  Absolutely crushed by SPY.  Dozens of articles about poorly performing stocks.  They whip the same dead horses for years while selling subscriptions.  As long as you have writing skills and get clicks for SA it's all good.  Bad REITs and energy are the easy ones to find.  It almost seems the worse the stock performs, the more articles you will find trying to pump it in vain.
