Real companies with real business models don't need to pay penny pimp newsletters (or IRPs) to promote their stock:
If they want to give a ROI to their shareholders, they might. I am working on a piece right now with a friend about a company that has real products with real revenues, and is trading less than 1 times earnings.
The shareholders are frustrated, and the point of the blog will be that the company should pay a dividend. It hardly ever trades and only increased the OS 1 time count in about 5 years, which is about 32MM. The last was increase was a few hundred thousand shares.
The stock has gone from near $1 to below 7 cents in the past year, with contracts in the $20MM plus range. The fundamentals are there, the interest isn't.
That was a poor generalization, imho. As is suggesting being OVERVALUED means the stock is a scam. In fact it's a very misleading statement.
