I suppose so, but if by "interest" you mean they hold shares, I disagree.
Consider this: "The Ontario Securities Commission has secured $150,000 in penalties against Agoracom Investor Relations Corp. and has terminated the limited dealer registration of Agoracom Capital Inc. The penalties are part of a negotiated settlement announced Friday, in which the men admitted that they had Agoracom employees create over 24,000 forum posts about client companies. they also admitted to snooping through private messages sent by users of Agoracom's forums."
Any poster who is present every hour of every day ready to reply to any forward-sounding post with a resounding "commons will be cancelled!" reminds me of the Shakespeare quote from Hamlet: "Methinks (the lady) doth protest too much!"
