About Stockwire:
Stockwire is a company that is pioneering a new way to research companies before you invest them. It's called a Stockumentary. A Stockumentary is a documentary on a publicly traded company.

The Stockumentary has video interviews with management, product demos, video tours of office or factory, research reports, sec filings and much more. All of this is delivered to investors in high quality video, either by mail or email.

We often accept restricted shares of company stock; by SEC regulations, restricted shares cannot be sold into the market for a period of at least one year from the time that the shares are issued. In such cases, we detail in the Disclaimer the specific term of any restrictions. We also receive compensation in the form of stock options, in which case we receive the right to buy shares of the stock of the company at issue, at a specified time and a specified price. In such circumstances, we specify on our Disclaimer the terms of the options received. On occasion, we also accept free-trading shares in a company that we cover. We intend to sell these shares at any given time.

While our policies as detailed above are designed to minimize any impact upon our members of a conflict of interest between our company and our members, each member should be fully aware that such potential and actual conflicts of interest may well exist due to the compensation structure detailed herein.
