I considered having this as a feature but didn't for two reasons. Since this is geared towards the investment community, I felt most serious investors don't care about community and what others think, and last, what's popular to some may not even be relevant to others in this industry.
I've yet to meet a serious investor who didn't care about the consensus view. Groupthink impacts the prices of stock as much as fundamentals.
I would love to see feedback that you have gotten from serious investors. I for one always check out "most emailed / most clicked on" stories in reuters, bloomberg, nytimes, wall street journal, etc... If other investors are reading it and I haven't then it makes me think that I'm missing out on something.
