It is a paranoid theory. The simplest explanation is that he became aware of the company's new products as a result of his work on the 401(k) plan and thought it would be a good investment. People often find out about companies through personal dealings with them. It's like those ads where the guy says that he liked the razors so much, he bought the company. I got started investing in semiconductor equipment companies because I worked for a couple of them. Why would he risk his reputation by knowingly making a bad recommendation? His newsletter and broadcasting income probably added up to far more than his income from the 401(k) deal, so it simply would not have made sense to recommend the stock unless he really did think it was going to go up. Your theory just doesn't add up. I do agree that it would have been best if he had disclosed his association with the company when he made the recommendation, as Kirk did when he recommended BOWG.
