Finance > MoneyInvestor Awareness Campaigns: A Look at the Other Side

Posted by nick_niesen in Finance on November 8th Nike Air Foamposite One For Sale , 2010


So you've signed up for a newsletter which promises to give you great stocks picks. Trust their stock picks and you wont miss out on the latest stock market darling. You dont want to miss out on another company who's shares have moved up over 100%. Follow their advice and you will never have to do your own due diligence again!


If only it were that simple!


Stock promotion has been around for decades and when done for the right reasons, can provide potential investors with an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an up and coming company. Unfortunately, like all good things, there are just enough bad seeds out there to give the whole investor awareness industry a bad name. Far too many investors have been caught in a game of pump and dump. Perhaps a look from the investor awareness side of things will help you avoid being caught.


Why do companies hire investor awareness firms?
Many small businesses are great at what they do. Many have found their own niche and continue to build their company. The problem is Nike SB Shoes For Sale , they have difficulties getting the word out about their success story. As such, with no new investors, the share price remain stagnant, and long time insiders are unable to either raise money to finance growth Nike Air More Money For Sale , or to cash out some of their hard earned equity.


An investor awareness firm can help publicly traded companies get the story out to newsletter subscribers. With the facts in hand, these subscribers may decide to turn into investors. The more investors out there, the more opportunity for everyone to make money.


What should you, the subscriber Nike Zoom VaporFly For Sale , be aware of?


a) Investor awareness firms are paid a fee. It costs money to generate campaigns, press releases, newspaper articles etc, and the fee helps to compensate for these expenses Nike Hyperadapt 2.0 Shoes For Sale , as well as pay for the firms time in creating the campaign. These firms are either paid out in cash, or if the investor awareness firm feels strongly about the future of the company, they may become shareholders. If the share price moves up, their compensation moves up also. Quite the incentive to do a great job for the company.


Its recommended that if the newsletter you subscribe to receives shares for their compensation Nike Hyperadapt 2.0 For Sale , find out if these are restricted shares, or free trading shares. If they are free trading shares, you may end up buying their shares as the firm sells to cover expenses. Not all firms sell immediately, so its best to make sure. If the shares are restricted Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 Shoes For Sale , its a safe bet that you and the firm are in it together for at least the life of the campaign or until the shares become unrestricted.


Most campaigns last 1-3 months, but many firms in fact provide coverage past that point.


b) Watch for insider selling. While there is nothing wrong with an insider monetizing their investment, if you see a substantial number of shares being sold at the same time as the campaign is going on, you may find yourself buying shares from the insiders and be left holding them for awhile.


Remember Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 For Sale , if the company outlook is so bright, insiders will know better than you, and will hold knowing they will eventually get a much, much higher price.


c) Pump and Dump - its not just insiders you have to worry about. Its in the best interest of a company who has been compensated with shares in the company to see the share price move higher. Watch for an overly bullish spin on stocks that are being promoted by those who have received shares in the company. Find out if the firm has to hold the shares for a period of time Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 White For Sale , or are they able to sell the shares anytime. If there is a restriction .
