"MR. JOHNSON HAS AN "INTEREST" IN RIPALIP" You never know for certain who you're dealing with – or whether they're credible – because many bulletin boards allow users to hide their identity behind multiple aliases. People claiming to be unbiased observers who've carefully researched the company may actually be company insiders, large shareholders, or paid promoters. A single person can easily create the illusion of widespread interest in a small, thinly-traded stock by posting a series of messages under various aliases. Some companies pay the people who write online newsletters cash or securities to "tout" or recommend their stocks. While this isn't illegal, the federal securities laws require the newsletters to disclose who paid them, the amount, and the type of payment. But many fraudsters fail to do so. Instead, they'll lie about the payments they received, their independence, their so-called research, and their track records. Their newsletters masquerade as sources of unbiased information, when in fact they stand to profit handsomely if they convince investors to buy or sell particular stocks. Smart Investors Research Potential Investments Thoroughly:  get financial statements from the company and be able to analyze them;  verify the claims about new product developments or lucrative contracts;  call every supplier or customer of the company and ask if they really do business with the company; and  check out the people running the company and find out if they've ever made money for investors before.
