I think it's good to disclose financial interests if you're making a point about a company, like disclosing if you are an employee.

I'm putting my money where my mouth is. No, not necessary; contingent. No, we shouldn't all lay out positions.

Given how much hacker news has been gamed lately, this does belong here.

So then say your short. Why do I need know at what strike price you bought at? This isn't wall street bets.
