No, it would not be anything arguably similar. As I said before, it was modeled after BusinessWire. Take a look at businesswire.com Distribution of submissions, without commentary, recos, opinions. "There are outright touts that basically copy paragraphs of filings and get a very large monthly fee to put them on a board and then do the email and message board spam. I try to avoid these, but they could be arguably similar to what you describe as Jeff's business?"

Most likely so. "So bottom line - would you say that Investrend was paid to say "this is a strong buy?" although I didn't see that in the rather confusing article. No. "Did Jeff also send emails?" No. "Did he spam any message boards with these listings?" BizWire, if you are unfamiliar, works on a "membership basis". You pay a membership fee, then pay-per-article you submit (you typically being an IR person or other company exec). BW takes the copy you submit and distributes it through publication feeds for you (Yahoo News, etc...)
