This is the quiet mechanics of leverage: every post about a deal, a budget, or a client's appetite is a data point for the counterparty. The seller didn't need inside information; the buyer handed it over.
The takeaway isn't paranoia. It's symmetry — the same way brokers study sellers, sellers now study brokers. Silence is a negotiating asset.
For investors, the rule is simple: vet what you publish before you're in a live deal. Valuation talk that feels like content is leverage you've already spent.
