RE:RE:RE:RE:Trading Halt
RE:RE:RE:RE:Trading HaltStockwatch's editing of press release captions has been a problem for a long time.
On June 13 Bioasis put out a PR with the caption, "Bioasis CEO Dr. Mark Day Releases Details of Corporate Plans in Message to Shareholders."
Stockwatch edited the caption and released it as, "Bioasis assesses, to continue with Transcend platform."
As if...!!
Implicit in the Stockwatch version, found [url=https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=Z-C:BTI-2479998&symbol=BTI®ion=C]here[/url], is the notion that the assessment was about whether Bioasis was going to advance Transcend or not. As if that question was ever on the table!!
Stockwatch has had a long and troubling record of messing with press releases, including truncating some press releases, which eliminates the "About" sections of PRs. Those "About" sections do change and when Stockwatch cuts off them off, the changes are not seen by readers.
There is a lot of work put into press releases, including their captions. Stockwatch should not be editing them in any way, especially in ways that incorrectly characterize them. Their editing is often contemptuous of junior companies and it's not Stockwatch's place to offer their almost always uninformed opinions about these companies.
