Well, I suppose it's possible that Chalem and Bockler didn't know each other. After all, Chalem had only been living in the house on Bluebell Lane for a few months. Still, their vicinity is an odd...coinkydink, as Chickie would say.
Just who IS "Stuart Bockler"? We've seen the domain registrations for his two websites (only one active). Earlier today he was quoted in the press as saying that his "research" had been stolen, even though no attempt was made at the StockInvestor site to conceal the fact that the "report" on GDIS had been written by Bockler; all references were provided for anyone who might wish to get in touch with him.
For the "theft of research", see:

As noted previously, IMO Bockler's "research" is not, ah, groundbreaking. It consists in large part of general observations and of juicy quotes from GDIS press releases.
How does Bockler describe himself?

Well, um, maybe they were just firms "like" Pru, PeeWee, and Advest, because if you go to nasdr.com and try to find employment records for Stuart Bockler with 'em, you'll come up empty. "No match was found..."
But what's this from "DrKnow"?

Now, 10 days later GDIS trading @ 4.8750 and SRGE @ half of that. Public does not seem to be impressed by the merger. Neither am I. Too many very questionable monkeys at the helm, to many suspicious , and even more Canadian "sales" following the buy rating issued by NASD ex-member Stu Bockstein. Watch OUT !!

But if you go once again to the NASD site and have a look for "Stuart Bockstein" as an employee of Pru, PeeWee, or Advest...well, "no match"...
Ain't that something? |
