The SEC, FINRA, FTA, Justice Department and other regulatory agencies are rightly concerned about the excesses in the investment awareness industry. There are no insurance policies provided by Wall Street research firms including our documents.
However, we believe our reports are based on academically defensible solid, in depth securities analysis that can be academically and statistically defended. In this sense, our documents might be considered as a kind of insurance policy against regulatory inquiry in regards to report construction andin depth securities analysis. This level of research is not available in the investor awareness markets.
We are the only firm in our industry to forecast each company for 5 years via their income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statements in three cases (Optimistic, Base and Pessimistic) creating our Cohen Price TargetTM that assumes capital is raised.
While any regulatory agency can inquire about a given company or campaign at any time, we believe our documents provide a securities analysis defense for a consultant, promoter, campaign, company and ourselves. We believe our documents serve as the basis for corporate expectations and corporate communications for all investor awareness, IR and PR campaigns.
This industry functions primarily on short term price activity. The Cohen Price TargetTM assumes that companies raise the necessary capital to meet our projected price targets. These price targets are theoretical and highly risky because smaller companies must raise cash to reach our outside analyst's forecasted price targets. If capital is not raised for most of our client companies, our price targets, short term and long term might not be reached. Our disclaimer states that these price targets are academic theory and should not be relied upon. Price performance can be heavily influenced by the structure and amount of money spent on each campaign.
Our firm's policy is not to be involved in any stock trading activities or programs of other investor awareness firms, telemarketers, consultants, large shareholders, companies or any investors. (See our Disclaimer on our website and in our reports).
