  I have a problem with a press release like this.  It puts the company's credibility behind the potential hype of any crook.  If this anonymous 'independent analyst' really knows his stuff re ETPI, then ETPI should be doing its own publicity campaign.  That's what the PR firm is supposedly hired for.  And to finally say, "the company does not endorse the analysis or have any responsibility for its contents" just doesn't cut it.  The whole thing has an unwelcome stench of shady manipulation about it.  Our company shouldn't stoop this low.
  Any comments?

  A later posting on RB sure sounds like a hyper to me:
