SP has been on their buy list for a long time. They haven't opened the newsletter to new subscribers for a while so there shouldn't be any reason this recommendation will push up the price -- if you're a member, you would've already bought and if you're not, you shouldn't have received the recommendation. I hear they go after people who leak their recommendations, they're very conscious of their reputation and like to avoid being accused of shilling, pumping, etc...not to mention sharing this information dilutes the value of my subscription.

(PBRG's the way I found out about steemit in the first place)
