Many see being convinced of changing a position as a defeat (my arguments were weaker, I lose this one...). Make sure you see it as a victory; you should *want* to be convinced by stronger arguments. Defeat is when better arguments *don't* change your mind.

What Fintwit needs to do is start a movement to encourage companies to change the format of conference calls: Just release the scripted part in the press release, and **go straight to Q&A**. Some already do it, but they all should. Also, have transcripts of all calls on IR sites.

Almost all my favorite finance/investing people tilt way more 'collaborative' than 'competitive' with peers. I don't think it's just that they're nicer; they get an advantage from the higher velocity of exchange of ideas, feedback, connections, resources they can call on, etc.
