Both of your sources are admitted, paid shills for the companies they are profiling. The Stock Advocate, on its own website, warns it may trade in the stocks it profiles, and may sell after publishing on the company. In the case of SBTI, it states it took 2500 "free trading shares" as compensation from SBTI shareholder "Maya Investments."

LK&Z similarly refers to profiling its "client companies." Neither is an licensed investment advisor/broker, and each says it relies upon information provided by the profiled company.

In other words, these sites are skating just this side of scams, hoping that gullible investors mistake them for legitimate analysts, and won't look at their disclosure language. SBTI is pumping itself in these fora. No respectable investment firm goes near a pink sheet stock. Reader beware.
