While researching a great pump & dump that I told TIMalert subscribers was a great potential short the other day, I came upon a research report published by Grass Roots R&D which claims to be the “#1 Small Cap Research Firm, Powerful Distrubtion”
LOL, too funny…almost as funny as their web design…in fact, it’s one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a while, but considering the stock they pumped was up 300%+ within a few minutes of their pumping, probly due to their “powerful distribution”, I gotta say I love these scumbags! I hope their put out dozens more “research reports” in the future (they’re even proud of the fact that they don’t write all the research reports, if I write a piece of crap report and pay them they’ll more than happy to “quarterback” the report to get it more exposure (meaning they don’t just have a stock pumping service, they’ll even pump reports that pump stocks too!)
Obviously, TIMalert subscribers know the stock to which I’m referring and how it turned out to be a great trading opportunity, but you guys reading this are late to the party so you’ve learned nothing–the only thing you can do is read and laugh at Grass Roots ridiculously long disclaimer:

Thorough company research for stock investment research and stock investing is a must for understanding an investment security and stock market investments. Stock market investment research and investment market research starts with individual company research and stock research. Stock market investments for stock market investing are derived from thorough due diligence. Look for investment research reports that have investment research analysts who analyze stock common stocks. Investing uses market research as the foundation for equity investment. Understanding financial statements, a stock report, daily stock reports, growth stock reports and knowing an investment firm’s published equity research reports helps any stock investor. Financial advisors and financial analysts often use Chartered Financial Analysts (CFAs) for securities research. SEC filings are a good place to start your company research and stock market research. Stock market reports on individual stocks can be accessed through brokerage firms having coverage that provides stock analysis and stock market reports. Small cap, Penny Stocks and micro cap stocks often times require even more in depth financial analysis from financial reports. Issuer paid research or company paid research for financial information analysis is now recommended by the SEC, a regulatory body that collects financial analysis reporting. Financial reports, financial annual reports, company financial reports, reports including full financial reports, and complete reading of financial reports are fundamental to sound investment research. The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) provides most of this information. It is also important to understand quantitative research methods, quantitative research design and quantitative financial research. Quantitative research, business research, industry research such as biotech research, energy research, alternative energy research, technology research, software research, financial company research, oil company research, bank company research etc. all help in the process of understanding a given company. Business analysis for understanding financial models, financial modeling, financial forecasting models, financial pricing models, investment models, finance models, financial projections, financial ratios, financial ratio analysis and investment strategies can develop a given investment strategy. Technical analysis, technical stock analysis and financial analysis ratios are also helpful. Stock trading is important for understanding stock liquidity, stock volume and historical trading patterns. Financial software is available from many financial data vendors. The analysis of financial statements using financial analysis tools for corporate financial analysis and company financial analysis are keys to good due diligence. OTCBB research for OTCBB Bulletin Board stocks is important. Penny stock research and penny stock recommendations require in depth research. Some investors can find the best small cap stocks in stock newsletters, stock investment newsletters, investment newsletters, ideas from penny stock research, microcap research, bulletin board stocks research, stock investing research, stock promoter research, corporate consulting and OTCBB stock promotion. Financial models are available on some small cap and micro cap stocks. If not, try to find them if they exist, or build your own models. Financial ratios, financial statement analysis, financial analysis software and metrics, financial analysis ratios and financial pricing models comprise appropriate analytical tools. The analysis of financial statements includes analyzing the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statements for analyzing a given public company. Forecasting is critical. Forecasting financial analysis valuations for each company, forecasting stocks, forecasting cash flow, forecasting sales, forecasting earnings and forecasting costs are the heart of analysis for forecasting a given company. Your conclusions will be stock valuations. Discounted Cash Flow analysis (DCF) is an excellent valuation technique. There are many metrics and data sources available for all Mid Cap and Large Cap stocks. These models can include financial ratios, financial metrics and investment strategy for many investment securities. Forecasted valuations create value investment strategy for investment securities. Stock promotion and stock awareness are normally promoted by investor relations firms. We have written this section to help individual investors do their own due diligence.
