Hi Lazarus and thread, general question: Does anyone have suggestions on getting information on dark companies? I emailed the CEO of one recently and he said you had to (in their case) submit a written request to the Delaware Division of Corporations and sign an NDA. This is obviously a fairly burdensome process when - in most cases - I don't have any more data on the company than the stock price and the process could turn out to be just a huge waste of time. Of course if it was a local business or I knew the ecosystem I might be able to come up with enough scuttlebutt to imply that looking at the financials would be worthwhile. Even then, the other thing I'm not sure of is whether a dark company would be expected to keep audited or unaudited financials for internal use - I guess that would depend on the shareholder base. Originally I thought if you bought a share and called the company they would just send you the financials but I'm no longer sure the process is that simple. Apparently the JOBS act has encouraged companies to get more cagey about what they share looking for others' experience.
