Dan This stuff about BAT International sending private email to it's preferred shareholders is a figment of your imagination.If you want to be on their email list all you have to do is go to the batt site and send an email to news@batt.com If you go back and read osvaldo diaz-christians's message # 3217 what he is talking about is a fax that he received at about 8 p.m PST from BAT. www3.techstocks.com In my discussion with some long time shareholders of BAT I have discovered that BAT routinely sends out faxes to about 1200 comprising members of the general public, media,Industry and shareholders who had requested to be on the list. BAT had in the past been sending faxes to these people thru the on-site computer. As you know sending 1200 faxes could possibly take several days. So recently BAT had contracted the services of a fax-blast service firm in Hollywood. As a standard practise BAT sends out press releases to the wires, people on the fax list and people on the email list all at the same time so that no one has unfair advantage. Unfortunately there was a foul up with the fax on April 2. The fax was put on a timer so that it came out at 6.30 a.m PST on April 3. However due to some screw up either with BAT's computer or the fax-blast service it came out at about 7.30 p.m on April 2. I don't think this foul up gave anyone unfair advantage simply because the wires reported the news promptly at 6.30 a.m on April 3 right at the opening bell. It was not the people on the fax list who were trading at the opening bell but the day traders. Day trading is got to be a full time job with many a people nowadays you know. In fact I'm contemplating of quitting my day job and joining the ranks. If Christain was going to use this information to get a jump on everyone at the opening bell he did not have to post on SI immediately on April 2. As far as the Kiplinger Report is concerned the lady who ran the show did call Joe and profusely apologized about the mix-up. BAT was led to believe the Kiplinger report was doing a story on BAT's super car and the Dolphin pulse charge technology. A 8 minute tape about the Geo-metro was requested by Kiplinger which did not make it for the show on time. I saw the report down here in Florida and believe the report did show BAT is a positive light. The story also mentioned how the penny stocks get beaten down by the media.
