Hi CassandraSees,
In fact, we just had a contributor identify a promotion that had gotten through the filter and were able to address it. Many of you have said kind things about us, allow me to take a moment to say how fantastic our readers are in supporting us. Thank you all.

Microman,
Thanks for the comment and giving me the chance to reinforce that we are NOT abandoning coverage of micro-cap stocks.
We will continue to welcome deep, focused coverage of these companies. Just today we have published focus articles on CLSN by Quoth The Raven, who has done great work on this name all year, WIRX by David Pinsen and Michael Goode alerted readers to a potential risk in XUII.OB.
We are working hard to stop what I think of as endorsement by association, where a questionable stock gets grouped with a larger, potentially more legitimate name and is given the same credibility.
You're not the first person to misunderstand the intention of my note, and even editors need editors, so can you share an idea on how I can make that very clear?

Hi Ryan,
Maybe you didn't receive my email to you, but I had a couple questions for you on this situation. If you can take a look and shoot me an email at george@seekingalpha.com I'll be happy to look into it promptly.

I just wanted to come back to this thread to thank those that have contacted me with stocks they've seen being promoted. I was confident that we could attack this issue and we are already seeing it pay off. And importantly, to several of the points, we've seen stocks that are north of the $1/$100mm level identified too. Thanks again, and let's remain vigilant together.

Larry, That's an interesting concept. Do you have any opinions, if we were to implement that sort of idea, on how we would weight the ratings? I'm not familiar with the intricacies of eBay's system, but applying it to opinion and analysis could prove a tricky calculus, so would love to hear ideas on it.

Hi,
Totally agree with this sentiment and would like to say we welcome that depth of coverage on a single company that is below. The rule for a single stock report is $1 or $100 million, when coupled with deep, meaningful research. The change, and where companies like GOFF came through, were inclusion as a secondary ticker, which provided credibility by association.
Stated more plainly, if you want to feature one of these great companies that could climb 5X, give us great insight. If you only want to mention it as an aside, we will pass, as the potential risk outweighs the benefit.

To clarify, we are not seeking to screen them out, but rather, to make sure when they are discussed the conversation is at a high and thorough level. As an investor in small companies, you surely appreciate the diligence required, and that is the diligence we will seek to provide.

Indiansfan407, it wasn't our intention to inflame, but I do respect your overriding point.
The editor made a judgment call during the publishing process. We saw the author's comment, contacted him with a proposed change, which he approved, and then acknowledged the change being made per his request here, so all information was public. It is always our intention to partner with our contributors to reflect the sentiments of their article, and we will learn from this and apply it going forward.

Hello all,
Thanks for the continuous commentary and input here. I wanted to let you know I touched based with Jon, and as you've all likely seen, he has written two articles on his area of expertise. I highly recommend you check them out.
Two points of clarification. His articles do qualify for our premium submission, and have. There was a miscommunication that created confusion on both sides. Second, his recent articles show how we need international articles to be done. We remain focused on US securities, and will. However, one can, as Jon has, write about portfolio strategies that provide international exposure through domestic securities. This can be complemented with thoughts on how to access these markets directly, just like fundamental analysis can be complemented with technicals.
I hope this helps clarify for everyone, and I look forward to continuing to work with Jon and share his ideas with SA readers.
