It really is pathetic. They come on here and make out they are the font of all knowledge and can't even be arsed to do the most basic research.
Align have said they are paid, it is on the research note and they are quite open about it. They take shares in lieu of a cash payment but pay their analyst in cash. They also buy in the market. They are locked in on the shares in lieu of cash and because they are frequently inside on a company, they can't often trade.
Richard has made it quite clear what his business model is. Like it or don't like it but the research isn't made up, it is based on real numbers and real analysis ie., not what happened five years ago.
