Hi Bruce <<<Just to get a point of my chest. I posted the link to Mr Hutchins rebuttal in post #813 and Clamenza in #817 but NO one even thank me! What's going on? I feel like Rodnie Dangerfield "I get NO Respect" :-) sooo Clam posts the direct and my is a second hand job. The info is the same, no? Is this like the Godfather thing. "...eh Clamenza, thanks you, you done good... the Family will remember you for your service..."; "...uh? Brinks Who?! is he a dirty cop on the payroll?" :-) There now I feel better.>>> I don't know anyone at Penacco but for a Newsletter writer to get free shares, special financing deals, seed stock or discount on a block of stock is not uncommon. It's like a "fee" for promoting the stock because of the buying power they command from their subscribers. I don't think there's anything illegal about it. They don't just get compensated from their subscribers, the real money comes from the companies they're featuring as "flavour of the month"! They're just Newsletter writers and they're not regulated by anyone. Even though you may not believe or like them, I feel you should subscribe to them. They command buying & selling power that sometimes cannot be ignored hence creating overbought or oversold conditions in a stock being featured. Just a friendly suggestion. pAL, next time you see a trading opportunity but don't want to share it with too many people, send me a private message :-)
