Jeez, would you guys give the rest of us a break? GG and the Gilder Group sell the report for money--money, folks. They do so by touting the fact that you can get rich--they tout his previos stock picks and suggest you too can get rich. Then, they have a list of stocks, and they put new stocks on the list. Everyone waits with baited breath for the list. The subscribers buy, and, recently, get demolished. So, what's up?? The Gilder folks disavow any responsibility or accountability, saying "ohh, we sell based on your making money, but you can't actually pay attention to our list, you should do your own due diligence, etc. This is just an ignoble cowardice way of dodging any responsibility for what everyone knows is actually going on. And as for GG making technology understandable, that's a laugh. He is infatuated with his own vocabulary and obsessed with using obscure words and concepts in ways that few are likely to understand. He's also big on inane riddles and foggy metaphors rather than straight talk. The readers figure they're too dumb to understand this "deep" stuff, when in fact it's GG's failure to communicate in clear concise communicative prose. I sense he's trying to make things harder, not easier, to understand--and he's achieving that goal. I have a technical degree from one of the finest universities in the world. If I'm having difficulty, it's not my fault--it's the failure of the communicator. All just MHO, and I already know how I'll be trashed for my heresy. |
