Examining ‘Alpha Exposure’

The clowns over at Seeking Alpha published another hit piece on CVV today. The author goes by the name of ‘Alpha Exposure’– a true bozo and a dork.

Being that I am biased about anyone who publishes hit pieces on Seeking Alpha, pertaining to competency and motives, I thought it would be best if I let the numbers speak for themselves.

Let’s have a look at “Alpha Exposure’s” recent “deep analysis” of companies and how they’ve panned out for their “investors.”

On 6/21, they released a hit piece on UNXL. The stock was at $14 the day prior; but because of his story, the stock careened lower to $11.39 that day, only to close at the highs at $14.39.

Had you listened to Alpha Exposure on 6/21 and sold the stock, you’d be down 51.3% on your money today.

On 7/24, high off his UNXL ‘victory’, Alpha Exposure went after EXAS, dubbing it “The Rotten Sniff Test.” He became obsessed with EXAS, publishing 5 more articles over a short period of time.

The result?

On 7/24, EXAS hit a low of 12.94, post hit piece. The stock is currently trading at $12.95.

Nice work.

He’s also done numerous pieces on CLSN and ONCY, both of which have gone nowhere since his allegations and “deep analysis.”

Frankly, this guy is ridiculous–a rank amateur. What gets me is the level of influence these jokers have with Seeking Alpha readers. I mean, don’t they look at their account statements and see the results?

Awful.

This guy shouldn’t be managing his own money, let alone publishing advice on Yahoo Finance, via Seeking Alpha.

Losers.

    SA is one of those “news sources” that always shows up on my IB (Interactive Brokers) streaming news feed.
    So I imagine they are making some money between IB, Yahoo Finance, and whoever (or is it whomever?) else.

    The people of Seeking Alpha are clearly not top hat and cane gentlemen. Otherwise the solution would clearly be pistols at dawn.

    Not that I disagree but let’s hope your libel/slander insurance is paid up – or that you have an Orbital Space Cannon pointed at them.

    I had a “discussion” with a seeking alpha member who was touting gold to $5000 by 2014 or sooner and “epic dip buy” or something ridiculous when it was $1600. I was attacked from all angles by gold bugs after I said gold would drop. The best was the guy who said that “he had bet the farm already, so he would instead offer to bet his “left nut” that gold would not hit $1200 before 2013.”

    Gold was no longer an investment, but a religious cult. I quietly exited and posted this article here at IBC.

    I haven’t been back to that site since really, but perhaps just for fun I shall pay them a revisit to gloat and see how the one nut wonder is doing.

    How is it that any clown from SA can write a piece, be completely out of his mind and wrong, and it still affects share price like this???

    I have this lingering feeling your Seaking Alpha line of posts are going to be the stuff of legend.

    This is what I like to see. Accountability for these morons.

    You should make a tabbed personality specifically catered to calling out clowns.

    SA sent me an email saying they had deleted my post regarding the dude who slammed AMBA. They was a “blanket dismissal of someone else’s ideas.” And, if I do that too often they will ban me. Apparently Eiad didn’t like it and he has some juice in there.
