		<description>Chief Executive of kaChing, Andy, said this to a &quot;virtual&quot; trader:

we insure that genius data is correct but not virtual portfolios. as i have told you many times we dedicate the vast majority of our resources to our new business. we fix problems related to virtual portfolios on a best efforts basis because we do not expect any of the virtual portfolio users to become geniuses. there are minor glitches that affect a tiny % of the virtual portfolios.

Note the part where he says that kaChing doesn&#039;t expect any more virtual portfolio users to become &quot;geniuses.&quot; Contradicting, isn&#039;t it?

By the way, I caution anyone from using kaChing extensively. It&#039;s best to just &quot;follow&quot; and not &quot;mirror&quot;. The simple reason for my recommendation is that there are severe conflicts of interest inherent in the system. For example, Daniel Carroll&#039;s research posts are ALWAYS rated 5 stars. Now isn&#039;t there huge room for manipulation? He&#039;s the founder, but he&#039;s ALSO a &quot;genius&quot;. I&#039;ve seen research posts very similar to his with much lower ratings (2 or 3 stars). That screenshot of daniel&#039;s portfolio is obviously manipulated. It&#039;s 5 stars, not a modest 4 like he suggests.

Don&#039;t believe me? Surf around the website! He is deliberately manipulating his statistics and will, unfortunately, never be able to &quot;dramatically change&quot; the industry.

This is 5/5:
http://apps.facebook.com/kaching/research/5692
Fair enough, but if this is a 5/5,

why is:
http://apps.facebook.com/kaching/research/1553
Also 5/5? Shouldn&#039;t it be 4? or 4.5 AT BEST?

AND this:
http://apps.facebook.com/kaching/research/5984
is just 3/5. 

You get my drift. Leave kaching to the wannabes. Their &quot;assets under management&quot; is increasing every single day, and that worries me.</description>
