Mark, If Stock Maker is getting shares, then they are not getting them from the Company. Not from any Officer or Director or even with the blessing of the Company. Certainly Not from me. This comes as much of a surprise to Managment as it does to me.
It you read the Disclaimer. It does not say that it came from the Company. It just says they were compensated with 50,000 RESTRICTED shares. The only thing that management can figure out is that it must have come from an outside shareholder, perhaps a former officer. But without managments knowledge. You can speculate just as easily I can where it may have come from. I do have my suspections. Personally I think it is was stupid for anyone to waste those shares on an Internet tout board. But that is something that was beyond the control of management.
As I mentioned in my post yesterday. The President did get a call from Stock Maker to verify what they were going to write. He didn't even know who they were. He did review the info for vericity. But that is it. He was not asked for any compensation whatsoever. He didn't tell me in advance about it being written, nor should he have. Had he, I would have told him to try to get them to "can" the report.
I did talk with him after it was published and I told him that I was going to post his comments about the Stock Maker on this board. He told me to go right ahead if I choose. I reminded him that what he told me better be the truth if I post it here, because someone would surely find out if it wasn't and he would not only lose my support, but would lose credibility with a number of large investors who he also told this story to and read my post. Remember, I posted earlier that a number of large shareholders do enjoy reading the idiocy on this board. |
