May I ask about the reason for the down vote?

Although I understand that what I said is not what the poster wanted to hear, it represents my view on the actual value of private vs. widespread public information. Further, it represents the view I believe the original poster would have on the actual value of private vs. widespread public information were the original poster to have more access to private information.

I didn't vote you down, but maybe you got voted down 'cause "career advice" was subsumed under my idea of "economic gossip", and therefore your point seemed moot?
