Really don't know. The term I believe was PLACED. Whether they were paid or not, the point is the news was put where it needs to be and not in the classified ads of a net newsletter, or something really funky. Dale felt too that the sources targeted were very good.
I believe that articles published by Barrons have GOT to be something of very in group nature. I don't know that ALYA carries that clout yet, eh? BUT. Those paid notices give the guys who do the buying a reason to look further. That, after all, is PR> I sell yellow page advertising, and super love my job. It is an art. And it works, when it works. It can make people very, very rich, rather than paying their mortgages from the business.
Personally I am unable to see the difference, except, yes, it sure would have been a little more exciting to see ALYA in a Buffet guest column, or somethinbg. No such luck yet.
I talked to Dale again today. By the way, the nasty rumors of the company selling itself off, as for the owner, one owns 5,000,000 shares and has not sold ONE. DAle nor the owners cannot hold a gun to the many investors who bought 2 years ago at .50 and have a right at $1.00 plus to get back some of their original good faith investment. He sure did say that I shouldn't pay too much attention to stuff on the net, however. Do you realize an insider is a secretary 2 years
who could buy at a few cents a share. TRW had about 10 millionarire secretaries when I first went to work for them, and I was too stupid and too young to even dream of buying any, but sinced then I would slowly have become a millionaire also. And I can assure you I would have sold blocks off about every 6 months the whole way. It's called human nature. Some want their money, others can accumulate for decades without spending any. We are all quite different along those lines.
This is NOT grounds to TRASH a company! |
