Charles, When I first started receiving stockplayer, I realized the "pump and dump" was quite effective. You would get a tremendous rise in price for one day, and the stock price would start to fall the following day. Over the course of time the duration in the rise would shorten, so traders would buy and get out before afternoon, only to have the price close lower than the previous day. That's all I meant by backlash. Important thing is that there is and will be a bit more exposure. I'm new to COGX. Today's close was 1.1 bid .875 ask 1.187 Is the large spread between bid & ask normal for this stock? ........Ben

Charles, It seems that Stockplayer; The Financial Sentinel and MoneyWorld are all tied in together and may be part of Stratcomm Media LTD (SMMM). It appears obvious that they print articles on companies that may issue stock to them as payment for this service. I have seen a copy of both publications and most of the stuff in them reads like a 2:00 AM infomercial. Thats not to say that all the companies they write about are duds. I get information about companies from lousier sources than this and some prove to be legitimate. Of course you have to do the DD and put together some basic fundamentals. Mr. Freeman said that info he was sending to me did not even say who the officers of the company are; Who the BOD members are. I don't think that the marketing firm he represents has any idea what an Investor needs to decide if their money should go into someone they are representing. If anyone here is better with the search engines than I, maybe you can find this company. Tom B.
