[RT] Re: Posting Links to Articles



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

The standard (and legal) approach is to quote the headline and a couple of short paragraphs to let people know what the article is about.

Then add a link so that people can read the complete article if they wish to.

This way the reader can see if he/she is interested without having to go to the link to find out what is being discussed. The resulting message is short but still contains useful information. The practice is fully compatible with copyright laws.

And if you enclose the link between two <...> symbols, then the email system will not break long links into multiple lines, which would make them not work correctly.

I would encourage this list to adopt this as a standard as have many other email lists...

See below for an example.

Treasuries Gain After Economy Loses Jobs, Wage Inflation Slows

April 4 (Bloomberg) -- Treasuries rose, with 10-year notes gaining the most in two weeks, after a government report showed the economy lost more jobs last month than forecast and wages grew at the slowest pace in almost two years.

The report reinforced speculation that the economy is in a recession while also raising optimism that inflation may be slowing. The difference in yields between 10-year notes and inflation-linked securities narrowed to the least since March 26, suggesting concern about rising consumer prices is easing.
