Thanks for the stockdetective's perspective on WSR and SuperStocks.net. I, for one, am interested in promotional companies that have a record of representing 'good' investments. ie. not simply targeting an org with a small float and manipulating the price through the roof and only to take a short position for the ensuing reverse. WSR has a better record than most promotional companies I've come across. For example, GGNC, IMO, had a run up, but should continue it's climb to new heights making investors a lot of money not only over the past 8 weeks but from here on into the future as well. Good luck all.

Offered as DD, the other side of the issue. I came across this on another thread. The words are of the writers, not my own. ___________________________________________________________________ I recently stumbled across this information on the Internet which gives another picture of the Stock Detective and I present it to you along with the article that they wrote about Rhombic so you can make your own judgements about this company whose technology was written up in "Unfounded statements made by an Internet publication named The Stock Detective have hurt many of you. On a regular basis this publication publishes its OPINION about various stocks traded on the NASDASQ BB system. A system and listing that is a place of incubation for many companies that do not have the wherewithal to be formally listed on a major exchange. Unfortunately, this system leads to abuses, both by the listed companies and by the markets themselves. Add to this the component of US regulations not permitting US brokerages to short these BB issues and Canadian brokerages the ability to do so, and you have a volatile situation. It now appears that the parent of The Stock Detective, AXXESS Inc. Symbol,AXXS, 201 Park Place, Suite 321, Altamonte Springs, FL 32701, (407) 834-4443 is one such BB issue. It does not report any numbers, is not formally listed on any of the major exchanges. Only on the BB, pink sheets if you will the same place that The Stock Detective focus's its attention, looking for "scams." Furthermore, it appears that The Stock Detective was itself the target of a shorting campaign last December to drive its price down severely. businessweek.com Now what has all this to do with the price of rice you might say? Rumor has it, only rumor mind you, that The Stock Detective, or certain people associated with The Stock Detective and/ or its principals, are now working in concert with a certain Canadian brokerage firm, and is taking very large short positions in various US BB issues. Then, when the timing is appropriate, The Stock Detective publishes their negative and usually unsubstantiated "expose" (death by innuendo,) to accomplish the obvious. It would appear, if this rumor were proven factual, that The Stock Detective has found a way to get even with the shorter's that did them in last December. Furthermore, if these rumors can be proven, it would appear that The Stock Detective may have to face formal charges from the SEC on behalf of stateside investors in other BB listed securities. Has your stock price ever been affected by the opinions of The Stock Detective?" >From "Business Week" Article Are Brokers Being Paid Off to Sell These Stocks?
