"Also, many promotions do not disclose the source of compensation. Enforcement officials at the Securities and Exchange Commission have told FinancialWire it is not enough for a company to disclose a "third party payment," but that the disclosure must include the precise source of the payment as well as the relationship of the the third party to the issuer, if any." (COMTEX) B: Six Companies Promoted by Emails Monday B: Six Companies Promoted by Emails Monday Apr 22, 2003 (financialwire.net via COMTEX) -- (FinancialWire / Promotion Report) World Golf League, Inc. (OTCBB: WGFL), TDS TeleMedecine Limited (OTCBB: TDST), Airtrax,Inc. (OTCBB: AITX), Cal-Bay International Inc. (OTCBB: CBYI), Integrated Services Group (OTC: ISVG), and Central Wireless, Inc. (OTCBB:CWIR) were among microcap issues featured in promotional e-mails Monday, according to The Promotion Report Newsletter. Complete information regarding the details behind these promotions can be found by visiting the Investrend "Investor Resource Center" atinvestrendinformation.com and penny-stock-promotions.com The Promotion Report Newsletter is a subscriber-driven service and accepts no compensation from any companies.

It is not at all uncommon for large shareholders or third parties to promote a company's stock without the company's knowledge or permission. No correlation is implied or should be inferred between any entity described in the report and volume or price activity on any stock. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission cautions investors about stock promotions on the Internet: "A company's web site may feature a glowing press release about its financial health or some new product or innovation. Newsletters that purport to offer unbiased recommendations may suddenly tout the company as the latest 'hot' stock. "Unwitting investors then purchase the stock in droves, creating high demand and pumping up the price. But when the fraudsters behind the scheme sell their shares at the peak and stop hyping the stock, the price plummets, and investors lose their money. Fraudsters frequently use this ploy with small, thinly traded companies because it's easier to manipulate a stock when there's little or no information available about the company. To steer clear of potential scams, always investigate before you invest!" the SEC concludes. Also, many promotions do not disclose the source of compensation. Enforcement officials at the Securities and Exchange Commission have told FinancialWire it is not enough for a company to disclose a "third party payment," but that the disclosure must include the precise source of the payment as well as the relationship of the the third party to the issuer, if any.
