The above passage is contained in Section 17(b) of the Securities Act... written in 1933! In plain English, publishers that have been compensated in any way for discussing a stock -- even if it is not to be construed as "investment advice" -- must disclose this fact, as well as the form and the amount of the compensation. stockdetective.com
