After being alerted to a promotion page online promoting Media Analytics Corp (MEDA) I saw that the promoter was also paying big bucks for Google ads for the term “stocks”. I ended up buying a small position in the stock that I will likely sell into any spike tomorrow. The company already has an absurd market cap of $138 million so I doubt the stock goes up for very long, but this does look to be a big stock promotion. Like most other companies promoted in big stock promotions, the financials are a joke and the company is barely more than a shell. The most recent 10-Q shows the company to have total assets of $2,476 as of June 30, 2013.

Promoter: StockReportBaron.com aka North Point Holdings Inc.

I was first alerted to the promotion for Virtual Sourcing Inc (PGCX) by Tim Lento. See his post where he found the pump website PGCXreport.com. The stock had almost no volume so I didn’t write a post about it. I should have then set a volume alert for the stock — when it first starting getting volume it was down a lot from when Tim posted about it and in the next few days ran from about $0.20 to over $1.00 (that being said, I probably would not have bought it). I then noticed search ads on Google for another promotion page: StockAuthorityReport.com. That reminded me of the stock and prompted this blog post. StockAuthorityReport.com is a new website, not linked to any past promotions. The promotion pages seem pretty sparse considering the purported pump budget.

I have previously blogged about The Alkaline Water Co. While looking up information for that blog post I performed Google searches for many different phrases, including “Investech Equity”, “Hennesey Road Media LLC”, “MaverickReport”, and “MountStockMore”

When I searched for “MountStockMore” I found a couple eLance jobs related to the website. Clicking on the person who listed those jobs showed me that that person had listed a total of 16 jobs, resides in Canada, and had only been a member of eLance since June of this year. I have saved all the jobs and the profile overview so that they can be seen in the future in case the account and jobs are deleted (I expect that to happen soon after this is posted).

PDF of account page listing the 16 jobs

Following are some excerpts from the various job and what I learned from them.

Hmm, it looks like someone is planning on putting up some Facebook ads promoting WTER:

We’ve got 25 characters for the headline and 90 characters for the body text in FACEBOOK and I need to make it pull.

We’ve got up 4 words in the title (17- 20 characters) and 55-60 characters in the body copy.

The ads are for Get rich quick, make huge gains/profits in your portfolio. People need money and are always looking for tips…we’ve got two penny stock alert sites that provide timely tips so people can get in early…

We’ve got 3 very specific angels we’re looking to write to….first will be as per the above.

Here are some samples:

I think we can find better motivating angles…

This job is for some copywriting explaining what alkaline water is.

Here is a good description of how the promoters want the promotional language to look like:

Article Conclusion:
The slant of this article is that Big Water will always try to control market share by buying Jr. brands – Numerous examples in Beverage consolidation investors should be aware of small BEV companies that could be acquisition targets.

TITLE: IE, Who Controlling the flow on beverage funding.

I prefer statistics and detailed information to be provided in bullets with explanation/conclusions to the stats provided with opening lines for context, and/or summary conclusions supporting the stats or main theme.

REFERENCES:
I want the article to site specific stats/Quotes/Articles from reputable papers/sources; Wallstreet Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Bloomberg, CNN Economist etc.

Suggested Industry Resources:

Many of the jobs appear to be reposts of the same jobs.

I first received emails yesterday promoting North American Oil & Gas (NAMG) from Global Marketing Media LLC websites.

PennyStockCircle is owned and operated by Global Marketing Media LLC. Global Marketing Media LLC has been compensated thirty five thousand dollars for a two day marketing and promotional effort on NAMG by Lake Group Media, Inc.

The Global Marketing Media LLC websites are:

Pennystockpros.net
TheStockScout.com
PennyStockClub.net
PennyStockCircle.com
123StockAlerts.com

Quickly searching the web and my past emails I saw that Lake Group Media Inc., which had paid for the promotion, had been the paying party in many other promotions, including a couple bigger mailer pumps. I tweeted about that after Ivan tweeted that he thought that NAMG might get a big pump because of the high share price. This morning I then saw this tweet linking to this website promoting NAMG (http://namginfo.com/index.html) with Tobin Smith as the promoter. So far the trading volume on NAMG is fairly low. I am definitely not looking to buy this promotion but I am not in a hurry to short either.

It shows the same Tobin Smith pitch as NAMGInfo.com. I did notice that the total budget for the promotion has been increased drastically, to $1,338,546.80.
