StockMaker has been compensated with 50,000 shares -- this violates SEC rules.

The practice of compensating stock touts with shares, rather than cash, was commonplace, but it is now prohibited by an SEC rule that went into effect in April. Here's a news report on this:

msnbc.com

Regardless of whether StockMaker began to tout the stock before or after April doesn't matter: the new rules don't allow grandfathering. Stockmaker is not allowed by SEC rules to continue promoting NCDR stock after having received the stock.

That means that even in the best case, Stockmaker is violating SEC rules by featuring NCDR on the Stockmaker website. This violation will cause NCDR to be required to put a contingent liability on its balance sheet. (If the co. is honest and if its auditor is awake, that is.)
