IR – The Bad Guys

As a group, Investor Relations (IR) firms do not enjoy great reputation. They have a reputation of preying on companies that are desperate to get their stock price higher. They make a lot of promises and do not deliver. They are, however, very good at promoting a stock until they have liquidated their position, then they move on to the next victim. Anyone who says they need payment in free trading shares to be able to facilitate a “stock promotion” is only trying to line his own pockets. Run, do not walk, in the other direction from these snake oil salesman. This is like signing a deal with the devil. They will destroy your company’s stock and any future possibility of raising capital.
