The rapid arrival of investorvillage on the message board scene has given rise to interest in who the principals are, and if they've got any hidden agendas. alt.os.linux.caldera OT: InvestorVillage The rapid arrival of investorvillage on the message board scene has given rise to interest in who the principals are, and if they've got any hidden agendas. From the investorvillage about us page, Ralph "Blue" Kidd is described as the Co-Founder, CEO, and Site Administrator. He was known as bluekidd1 on Y! message boards. His full name is Ralph Vincent Kidd. There are 4 RVKs in total. I is presumably deceased, II, III and IV have various businesses registered in the state of Louisiana. I believe the one we are interested in is Ralph V. Kidd IV(as in four not investorvillage). LA says he's a manager/member of 3 companies, Research-Driven Equities LLC, Integritymessageboards.com LLC and Casitas Del Mar LLC. John Kidd and Ralph III are also manager and/or members of the dotcom and Ralph III is a member of Equities. John is Ralph's brother. III is the father and a urologist. IV is self-described as an attorney in campaign contributions, though Martindale Hubbard has not heard of him. Conformation RVK IV = bluekidd1 can be found by the whois contact info for the dotcom. The mailing address used for IV in the corporate filings is shown by googlemaps to be a modest residence. IV has another site called basherjokes.com, and is by all appearances very lame. So far rumours spread by finance group participants that Research-Driven Equities is a hedge fund profiting from pumping on stock boards is unsubstantiated by facts. [...] MORE - groups.google.com
