We have been warning you every issue to be very careful making investment decisions based on paid promoters and (worse) bulletin board and social media characters. During this recent downturn, those characters have been ruthlessly called out and one of which allegedly received threats and temporarily shut down his social media account. This recent Bloomberg article cannot stress enough that promotion schemes exist and do extend into Canada.
Our strategies are industry leading and are as valid today as they were when we introduced them: M&A potential companies; growing revenue company; diversification; low market cap; low effective share float; late stage ACMPR applicants; ancillary companies; animal sector; beverages; European presence; the near arbitrage opportunities of acquisitions, etc. Every one of those strategies remains valid today and it is no wonder parroted by others with some even creating stock lists of their own such as based on reported revenues and proprietary metrics.
We also warn of what to look for. We wrote in the fall of 2017 about the non-industry company “Klondike Gold Corp”. This company published very authentic looking promotional material that in many ways appeared as validated authentic factual reporting. Shares were halted and the company retracted in full said publication.
