Phony Web Stock 'Experts' Under The SEC Microscope

in The Bullpen
FYI: Wall Street is waging its own battle against fake news — in particular, against both amateur and sophisticated promoters of stocks.

Regulators have lodged complaints against writers for the internet investment sites SeekingAlpha.com, Benzinga.com, TheStreet.com, Forbes.com, and several others, saying the authors were writing under pseudonyms or who did not disclose that they were promoting stocks for money.
Regards,
