Who paid for this travesty and how much, I wonder. Got this yesterday. Is it just me, or is this one of the least visually appealing mailers to hit in some time? The B.S. verbiage is the same as most of the others (destined to run from under $1 to an arbitrary $8.88), but the spiff-factor is lacking. Not that it matters to me, but I feel the "sheeple" that tend to get roped into these mailer plays, believing they're good long-term investments rather than highly volatile and risky short-term trades, are more strongly influenced by pertier "reports". JMO Any successful P&D needs that steady flow of "new blood" that sees the deal as a compelling long-term investment and not an artificially inflated stock with nothing of substance behind it. I was always more a fan of the glossy "postcards" than the multiple page reports stuffed with largely irrelevant and misleading info like comparisons to multi-billion dollar "comps", obscene and baseless growth estimates, etc. But this one looks like my 6th grader tossed it together at recess. At least the postcards, at least the "good" ones, only have room to list a few real facts or somewhat intriguing reasons to look into the deal. What really grinds my gears is that while the legal disclaimer notes that IMNG did not pay to put this out, I find it hard to believe that "Legendary Stocks", who holds no position in this deal, came out of their pocket to create and disseminate this piece without being compensated. AND I don't see any mention of anybody, even an "undisclosed 3rd party/big holder, shelling out $$ for this. No compensation? At least I didn't see it here. Someone had to pay for it, wonder whom? Forgive me if I've overlooked any mentioned of financier here, I am going blind. This is the first mail I've received from these guys and I'm starting to wonder if they're just a rookie outfit not fully schooled to the game, OR if this is a new type of "snail mail spam". Either way, IMNG has popped nicely thus far and someone ("Mr. Chang, is there such a person?), seems to have run her down nicely right before the mailer hit. I was traveling when this reached my house, but perhaps I'll get in on their next play if the timing is right and nothing goes drastically wrong with the IMNG plan. Any thoughts? *Bets on IMNG doing $90M in net profits any time soon?*
