Careful SA, disclosure is good for people who own stock, but how much has VFC been paid to say this company is real?

I am currently short this stock, yes, and making a bundle, but I make my $ trading, not through scummy compensation, see my research and learn:

I'm a big fan of your writing--you inspire and educate so many and that's exactly what I'd like to do with my upcoming book, An American Hedge Fund. I'd love to send you an advance copy for possible inclusion in the above list.

The hedge fund industry is now a $2 trillion industry and yet, due to industry regulations, the general public knows little about them. This needs to change and that's why I've written, "An American Hedge Fund," due to be published on October 1, 2007. I promise this not the typical boring finance book!

My claim to fame is that I turned $12k into $2 million trading waaaaay too many microcap stocks from 1999-2002, created a hedge fund, became the #1 Short Bias Hedge Fund from 2003-2006, starred in the TV documentary Wall Street Warriors (500 airings now!!), and began appearing regularly on CNBC all before the age of 25.

This is no BS "How To" book--its the true story of a hedge fund created from scratch. People need to realizes the hedge fund industry is not just about billion dollar blow ups and huge funds created by investment professionals who are already wealthy. My 'Rocky'-like story will surely inspire generations to come to take part in our true national sport, finance.

If you like it, I'd love to print a blurb with a mention to your site on the inside or back cover and hopefully you could post a review around press time in October.]]>
