Busting bad people

What a great idea! I have not seen anyone out there take such an approach. Not only are you reporting on the facts but you are INVESTIGATING and helping ARREST these crooks! Way to go! I am not sure how you make a living out of this, but the service is amazing!!! Get a spot on CBS and tell the world!

Keep up the great news, i got you bookmarked.

Bustin' the crooks, this site is a must read!

I don't know how Melissa Davis is able to dig up so much dung on the dirty promoters out there, but she sure does!

Even if you don't care about sleazy, shading promoters, this site is a great read just for entertainment! It's hilarious what some of the companies and promoters she investigates have been involved in! Blatant idiots!

Anyway, this is a great site, and a must read for anyone trading small cap stocks for sure. My only knock is that Ms. Davis is a Boomer Sooner. Boooooo!

Keep it up Sweeper!

Already Better than Citron Research

And that's saying Something

As anyone who has ever looked at OTC stocks can tell you we are are on our own. The SEC is far too slow, wall street media and the exchanges are uninterested and the brokerages are geared towards enabling any potential you mya have (no matter how bad it may be)

Until about the only voice of reason investors could find were select short sellers. And more than a few never bother to disclose their positions publicly.

enter Melissa Davis, formerly of thestreet.com, who brings some old school hard hitting investigative journalism (watergate era style when reporters were more than PR agents basically) and ethics to an area previously left free rein to criminals.

This site is just awesome, they are extremely thorough. And their writing style usually makes a provocative story out of it as well. Juts take a look at their report on AENY.OB
http://www.thestreetsweeper.org/undersurveillance.html?i=189
They take their on tax structure, their officers shady past, The fishy merger. They challenge on their really vague claims on reserves. The show you how insiders are hiding how they dump shares. It's beautiful, just beautiful work.

And you don't have to worry (as much) about their motives. These are reporters not short sellers. So no worries about possible "short and distort" issues.

The site is just getting started out so it's content isn't completely fleshed out yet (an RSS Feed would be nice). But man the potential is there!

Melissa Davis's site shows a lot of promise of protecting retail investors, who it is estimated get ripped off to the tunes of hundreds of millions of dollars every year in OTC fraud (or just bad ideas).

A must read for any penny stock investor.

Melissa Davis is a Stock Promoter's Worst Nightmare

For someone who's only been covering micro-cap fraud for less than 6 months, Ms. Davis has already achieved the incisive expertise more seasoned journalists such as Dow Jones' Carol Remond, The Vancouver Sun's David Baines, and Stockwatch's Mike Caswell possess. Her latest expose story on Dublin, CA based stock promoter Jarett Wollstein is a must read, a perfect 10.

Why the enforcement division of the SEC hasn't made Ms. Davis an job offer yet, is beyond me. She's better than 90% of their junior staff attorneys.

Great for everyone!

Probably one of my favorite sites out there! Someone who puts the time in and digs up all the dirty details and calls them out on it for the fraud. This is a must visit site! Thank you street sweeper for putting the time in.

Best site out there of its kind...

Davis has really outdone herself in investigative journalism for penny land.

Also, it is a great early short signal if you intend to suffer through a temporary squeeze-it seems once stock gets first notice on their hate list it tanks like 15% or more over a period of days!

What is odd is her ilk seems too clean to be involved in pennies, even as a debunker, it seems almost weird.

Their research saves tons of work for people like Sykes, who must report on frauds for plays and blog posts, and I cannot say enough to suggest you bookmark this site, it is unique.

Check out the background checks and rap sheet, and the street patrol news recaps.

One person already rates this above Citron, and having that bookmarked, I agree...

GReat Research

Companies and individuals need to learn how to take in BRUTAL honesty. This website will provide the readers with what companies are doing to lure in individual traders and stock holders alike. The articles on the website are extremely thorough and easy to follow. Just like many traders who want to make as much money as possible, these fraud companies are willing to do anything to take you money away from you!

Check the street sweeper often to see what they come up with.

Great Resource

I tend to be a very skeptical person and this website feeds that nature. I love the fact the authors of the sight dig up corruption in companies and individuals. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely Fantastic

Just fantastic! The articles are of great quality, well written, very well researched. I have taken in many research techniques from the articles and where else is there a team so qualified as at Street Sweeper! I am more so amazed every time I visit the site however the forum/community aspect as yet to really crystalize. Great research, I have taken so much out of this site!
Would recommend to all!

Should Be 7 Stars Not Just 5

This is my single favorite website right now as former -TheStreet.comer Melissa Davis has assembled a team of the smartest financial detectives around and having been in business for just a few months, they've already NAILED several frauds and schemes as their research is second to none...I spend hours scratching the surface, they spend days and weeks really getting to the nitty gritty, even going so far as to employ private detectives! Frauds, schemes, pump & dumps watch out, I'll short sell your junk and profit, but TheStreetSweeper isn't interested in petty trading profits, they want to nail you, expose you and help teach others...good luck trying to compete against them, you can try any trick in the book and they'll catch you!

This site is for EVERYONE who is in the stock market, you can learn a ton from these smalltime crooks and how TheStreetSweeper busts them! This is my single favorite website on Planet Earth right now, keep up the great work Melissa & Co....please don't ever change
