DISCLAIMER.
Important Distinction #1. First and foremost the Watch List is just that. A
watch list. It is not a buy list. Meaning that there will be no buys or sales
issued by the Internet Stock Review. If this was a buy list, you can rest
assured that we would crank up our Public Relations arm into high gear, full
speed ahead and damn the torpedoes to make everyone know just how brilliant
we
were when we issued the list. Interviews on CNBC, articles in Barron's and
accolades in the Wall Street Journal--the only thing we love more than
money is praise and fame--but it just ain't gonna happen.
What the Internet Stock Review is...is a "news aggregation service". With the
advent of the Internet, everyone knows what that term means. What it means to
us is the following: We will follow the progress of as many Internet related
publicly traded stocks as humanly possible (The large, the small and the
minuscule) and advise you of when they have reported news. As a subscriber to
the Internet Stock Review, this means you will be able to broadly follow the
entire industry right from one single e-mail. We will report who released
news
and point (with hyper links) to where the news can be found. We try to use
Yahoo! Finance as extensively as possible so we don't send you all over
cyberspace. We love Yahoo, you will too. Any decisions as to buy or sell
however, are strictly up to you.
Which leads to important distinction #2. How do we get paid. The Internet
Stock Review is owned by a Public Relations firm (Perry & Co.) which
specializes in
getting (or creating) coverage for publicly traded companies. As such, is
important to note that anytime we say anything about a company, it is because
the company is a client of our parent company, or because we would like
them to be a client of our parent company. In a nut shell, you can throw out
any
thoughts of us being even a little bit impartial. It just ain't gonna happen.
We love everyone.
Final note is we that have over 10,000 subscribers so please excuse our dust.
(i.e. dupes etc.) We will be signing on with a list server soon with the web
site.
