holy lol i dug up their editorial policy
http://seekingalpha.com/page/editorial_principles
  • they explicitly claim contributors are independent, and have total latitude in choosing stocks to discuss (i.e. seekingalpha's editors are not liable for their pump/dump scams)

  • they don't ban coverage of otc / pink sheet / penny stocks (when could this ever be a legitimate topic?)

  • the editors are not required to disclose their stakes in covered stocks (beacuse the contributors are independent wink wink nudge nudge)

lol wanna bet the guy that wrote that tried to short amd?

i think the worst part is though that when you go to google finance "news" about whatever you looked up from seeking alpha is usually the first thing you see on the right hand side

really, shipping things sucks no matter the carrier (ups keeps giving me poo poo that goes to other addresses for some reason), and i guess that'll just be a constant even in a space age future with moon colonies

there are still little guys out there and man are they terrible

the company i work for primarily uses fedex, and i'd rank them as being p good mostly because when they have lost/destroyed poo poo, they didn't fight us too much on honoring the insurance

so we're p happy with that

well yes if you ship a lot they know they're going to lose something at some point and will gladly just pay out the 1% or less of shipments they lose

they just gently caress around with you on insurance if you're not a b2b account - you're just a money loser then after all.

amazon used to use lasership and they were consistently better than ups or fedex at getting poo poo here on time (early even) and undamaged

i dont think they use them anymore though, idk why

as someone who is in the industry let me assure you that amazon uses everyone. they ship so much and in so many different ways (supplier > warehouse, customer > returns processing, warehouse > warehouse) that they use essentially every provider in the space sometimes including multiple ones on different legs

should you ever complain to amazon that they dont let you avoid ups should you live in an area served by a piece of poo poo for a driver, their customer service folk have been trained to tell you, without their voice cracking into sniggers and guffaws, that its a technological impossibility that they've not been able to solve, while on their home page at the same time are pr product spotlights about drone shipments, natural voice input syntax parsers and the mightyest cloud computing infrastructure in all of human history

but adding that checkbox to say, god no don't leave my box of vibrators, canned hams and xbox games in the hands of ups, is a horizon too far for even the aspirations of their space-faring ceo

I dont remember ever being directly able to talk to mr amazon myself, just customer service reps who probably actually have no way of specifying the shipment method beyond regular prime and next day prime.
