  • 12 Potash Companies Sprinting Ahead
    I too greatly appreciated the article, and am wondering, Gunslinger, what your other sources are.

    BUT: SA editors, and the writer: As a sometime editor, I respectfully but strongly disagree about giving sources. I agree that Seeking Alpha is particularly useful because it gets expert opinions, and pulls together stuff written elsewhere.

    But the source should have been credited, even if only "as I wrote in ___ . . . " And in fact, the phrase "a few other companies which we will cover in a later article" suggests that there were other writers to be credited, although a reference to the original article w the info that the author was one of the writers, could be acceptable. (I'm assuming the "we" is neither editorial nor royal.)

    Further, it makes it much easier for readers to 1) evaluate the article, info, and writers (it's very helpful that SA lists other stuff by the same writers); 2) check w sources for more details (there may not be any, but we might still want to have a look); and 3) go to the sources for other stuff we may want and think they might have. On the other hand, I can't think of any good reason for the author to hide his light in a haystack (a good honest mixed metaphor; I hope you'll forgive me for not citing each source) -- unless, of course, he's ashamed of the article, or not supposed to be using it. And from what's been said here, that's definitely out.
