CYBER-PIRATES DECLARE WAR ON WALL STREET
LOCAL IR FIRM LAUNCHES COUNTERATTACK
Lancaster, PA - May 16, 2002, BusinessWire, Serena Riedel Investor Relations (www.srir.com), located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, today announces the launch of a nationwide awareness campaign to educate CEOs and investors on the secret tactics being used by a new breed of Internet-savvy stock manipulators. All over the world via investment chat rooms and message forums, groups of skilled advocates and professional stock manipulators are forming “wolf-packs” to wage cyber-war on unsuspecting corporations and investors… and they are winning with devastating results! This awareness campaign hopes to stop them in their tracks!
Serena Riedel explains the most common scenario, “Today’s stock manipulators prowl the World Wide Web in search of stocks and shareholders to influence and manipulate to their own advantage. Once stock manipulators gain control over shareholders, they can control that company’s share value. Advocates infiltrate Internet forums posing as normal shareholders for weeks, even months, before launching their subtle attack, all the while gaining influence over the investors by providing detailed trading techniques, level II postings, and tips on how to become better investors. They literally take over the forum by using multiple identities to promote a “group” following. After they achieve an almost “Guru” status within the forum, they will begin advising their fellow investors when and where to place trades and offer the chance to join in their hyping or bashing campaigns.”
Sometimes a company’s share value is the target where yielded results can exceed 500% in just a few weeks. Other times, the target will be the actual shareholders hoping to lead them away to another targeted stock.
For CEOs, the campaign’s main attraction is a Corporate Consulting Program (“GREEN, INC.”) which includes 30 days of unlimited consulting, an in-depth analysis of the company’s online stock situation, and a detailed Training Manual. Not only is this program designed to teach CEOs how to build a successful shareholder support program and a responsive investor relations program, it also teaches Corporate Survival Techniques in today’s world of Cyber-Pirates and online-savvy investors. “We show corporations step-by-step how they can turn the whispers of happy shareholders into shouts that will be heard around the world,” added Ms. Riedel.
For investors, there is a selection of books written and marketed exclusively by Serena Riedel Investor Relations (www.srir.com) including “The Cyber-Pirates of Wall Street. Inside the Secret World of Professional Stock Manipulators. Who They Are & How They Do It.”
“Knowledge is power,” states Ms. Riedel, “Half the battle is educating shareholders and CEOs on how to recognize manipulative tactics and deflect them which eventually will drive away the advocates and deter future attacks.”

Investor Education Program –
Wouldn’t it be great if your investors knew how to recognize and combat bashers & hypsters on discussion boards?
With so many rules and regulations governing what a corporation can and cannot do or say to its shareholders, it is no wonder shareholders are growing more disillusioned and frustrated every day. Your shareholders however can teach other online investors how to develop successful trading techniques and where to go for reliable sources of DD information to make informed investment decisions. This investor education program is designed for both novice and advanced investors who want to learn the "inside secrets" of Wall Street, Market Makers and Professional Stock Manipulators (a.k.a. Hypsters & Bashers) and how they could help protect their investment against such enemies. (Call for detailed analysis and pricing)

Raging Bull/Chat Room Monitoring –
Monitoring chat rooms, Raging Bull and other discussion boards is one of the best ways to gauge the attitudes of your shareholders or the agendas of a particular group of investors who have chosen your stock as their “playground” or “next play”. This knowledge can allow you to set straight inaccuracies and rumors before they escalate and affect your stock price negatively. Better yet, you do not have to leave such an important task to a novice within your company. Perhaps you cannot spare a valuable employee to this duty which can be psychologically demanding, highly confidential and time consuming. It is however a critical part of your successful shareholder support program. Just knowing “what is being said” is not enough in today’s ever-changing market climate! An experienced team can handle this task of monitoring and analyzing posts round the clock for you. (Call for detailed analysis and pricing.)
