You may have this perception about analysts but a lot of new and first time investors would heed this very direct and damaging warning. It was so one sided with zero information about the company and just a warning to stay away... He's not accumulating shares for PTK he's shorting the hell out of it. I can't belive that the host didn't needle into him some more about where he got information that Pinetree would be selling Poet to fix its debt ratio. It's such an outlandish statement for someone to make. I bet he's shorting PnP too. What a scumbag.

As for analysts having no credibility and influence on SP, that's just completely false. If he have a very glowing veiw of PTK we would all be clamouring about how great this guy is or any other analyst who would promote the stock. The reason this "particular" analyst wreaks of his own adgenda is because of what he said and how he handled himself.

I look forward to the day where analyst do get on board and help push PTK by owning it and talking about it in a positive manner.
