He voices his opinion in public forums leaving it up for criticism eventhough it is not his job to voice his opinion on the "small stuff."

According to Pachter his job is:

My job is primarily to advise investors, and by investors I mean big mutual funds and hedge funds. Our smaller accounts maybe have $100m under management and then all the way up obviously to several hundred billion. The average average is easily $1bn. I talk to guys who manage billions of dollars, and my job is to help them make better investment decisions.

 Because people ask him his thoughts on the 'small stuff' in various interviews and GameTrailer TV show things...
