**EDIT for LEGAL: Legal... in your disclaimer is this line which I think is what any normal person could add 2+2 = conflict of interest on a stock board that you moderate ...
"PSPG, may at times be compensated for profiling companies on the web site and/or, message boards, etc. and may obtain positions in the securities prior to the posting."
There is no way to get rid of the seed of doubt when you are being compensated and then mod a board where you can control information content at any time.
Sorry, it's just way too obvious what people have a problem with concerning compensation.
** Didn't mean you specifically, a person in general who mod's and is associated to the board ticker... one will not be able to remove the seed of doubt with that connection, that is my point and IMO what I think is at the crux of most of this conversation. A person who loves the stock and mod's will also control the flow of information, the end result is exactly the same, as is the human nature aspect of the theory of the 'Power corrupts' mechanism of the ego.
