Hi JoeWolf, it's hard to get peeved at The Intelligent Investor because we should never rely on one source of info for an investment decision, you should always do a reasonable amount of research to be comfortable with your own decision. Also one thing that I have learned from my relatively short 'career' as an investor is that there are so many 'experts' out there. All of these 'experts' have opinions, and that's all they are, opinions and they are many and varied and often contradictory to each other. If you feel OK with your decision and you have applied appropriate risk management (i.e. losing the full amount won't have a material impact on your portfolio), then you tend to look at is as part of the business of investing. However, if Timbercorp had provided poor information that would be different.
