Always glad to help out confused investors. Was not aware up to that point that they had compensated anyone. Question now of course is, does it invalidate the information contained in the report? And if so shouldn't you or someone report them to the SEC for false advertizing, or is that misleading investors. Whatever so glad I could help you get your mind around that trickey finacial thing.

Invest, don't speculate! "Investing is an activity of forecasting the yield over the life of the asset; speculation is the activity of forecasting the psychology of the market."
