Correct. Which was entirely the whole objective of our Webnode parody. We were pointing out, tongue-in-cheek, that services like BW, PRNewsire, etc... are not really news. They are a distribution that is paid for, by anybody who sends them a cheque. You, yourself, could easily announce that you've discovered the cure for AIDS whilst simultaneously being selected as next in line for England's throne -- it will be broadcast to millions, if you pay the money. Because many don't know the difference, there's an implied cachet of "reliable news" and some folks will actually believe you. So, be careful what you read. And especially discount Pugs' mumblings on the matter.

"I also see distribution of supposedly hot stocks and options plays that obviously originate from someone professing to be an analyst. Yet, the distribution (often I get it on the Ameritrade screamer) makes it "seem" that it is some type of "official" proclamation."
