blainehodder Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 "We" think the use of collective pronouns to describe a single persons thoughts on a topic to add some sort of air of superiority actually hurts "our" investment thesis. Perhaps "they" are just out to get "us" and "our" genius ideas, and that is why "our" stock picks aren't going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
given2invest Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 We also hate this. Some writeups are done by firms and have multiple authors though. But usually it's just one author who is being obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hielko Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Usually the author is at the same time also the founder, chief investment officer of blabla global capital that is managing his own lunch money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkbabang Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I always picture 10 people standing around a computer in a conference room arguing about what to say and how to word it before hitting "Post". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I see it a lot. Most professional documentation is worked on by a team (or multiple teams) of people. But yeah it’s super obnoxious when some dude writing from his couch does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spekulatius Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 “We” at work means that nobody is responsible, if things go wrong. I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
