Cima: The problem I have with this method is that I get the feeling that sometimes stocks are being promoted by publications solely as a result of financial renumeration and not solid information. I'm not saying BizFN is necessarily doing this but would be interested if they have ever not accepted money and/or free stock from a company that wished to be touted on their service. Many of these microcap stocks run up in price as a result of the hype and "press releases" only to quickly fall back. The "self fullfilling prophecy" syndrome takes effect here. If BizFN pushes and releases enough, their following will buy and make the stock rise in the short term. Then look out below! Yes, if you time things right and get on their "premium" list which supposedly alerts you to their releases before the mass mailing, the inference is that you can get in before the masses run up the stock price. I'm sure this works sometimes but in the long pull, I think you will be the loser. If you think that BizFN is providing a service by "getting the word out", you would do well to be very careful. They aren't doing it for their health... All of this is just my opinion. Good luck regardless. Chip
