I agree you do have to read multiple viewpoints and consider the motivations of an author/seller. I've got KMI simply because I owned KMP. I would prefer to be getting into KMI now since I'm/it's down so much. Regardless, I think KMI is a good example of having to know the segment/market the company is in since its numbers will look different. I tend to agree with the people that bring that up repeatedly because it's brought up repeatedly that their numbers are "bad" when looking at them as if they were a normal retail company. KMI's business is very debt heavy because it's a long term model. I personally am not worried at all about them. Though, admittedly, I would prefer to see movement towards the positive sooner than later.

For a funny look at responses to an article, find the MCD article from the guy saying MCD was a poor choice on the very day that MCD jumped due to earnings beat. Read his article and then read the comments. I think too many people dismiss a contrarian view too easily and for very weak reasons.
