HSOA is a fraud….and if you do any homework on the company, it’s managment and business practices, you will find it obvious. I am not here to make your opinion for you, just to simply state that when HSOA acquired Fireline Restoration, they didn’t complete the audit until months after the ink was dry….how can you put your money into a company that does that? HSOA had it’s own problems before the acquisition, but bad went to worse when they took on Fireline Restoration – take a hard look at the Marshall’s and Tom Davis – they have some serious skeletons.

THE SAME ANDREW LEFT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT -WAS FOUND GUILTY OF FRAUD AND DECEIVING HIS INVESTORS, AS WELL AS NOT PAYING HIS EMPLOYEES BACK WHEN HE OWNED DETOUR MAGAZINE.
-IT’S REALLY NOT HARD TO FIND THE EVIDENCE- THAT IS….IF YOU ACTUALLY TRY. AND KNOW HOW TO RESEARCH- i doubt if you will print this because it is true., and further it really isn’t hard to do.
If you really believe Mr. left tends to always tell the truth.
You will believe anything, it’s not hard to refute each of his points, each point he makes has no validity after a little due diligence.

This is the type of comment that makes me tend to believe Andrew Left. It is the same type of comment that people made all these years against Manuel P. Asensio (an outspoken shorter of stocks). It involves hyperbole and innuendo and unproven assumptions.

I’ll address your comments:

1. Andrew Left has never contacted me. I contacted him because I wanted him to disclose his exact stake in HSOA. I believe that he should disclose more clearly when he is short a stock.

2. I have no opinion of whether HSOA is a fraud or not. Frankly, the only reason I am involved is because it is entertaining. If you rely upon the SEC to find fraud, then you, sir, are a fool. The SEC generally does not investigate until after fraudulent companies implode (cf. Enron, Xybernaut, etc.).

3. The hedge fund manager I mentioned is LONG the stock. She hates Stocklemon (and has previously made money by being long another stock that Andrew Left maligned).

4. As far as homework, I did enough homework to find out that Left has prevailed in two libel lawsuits filed by companies he targeted. The outcome of one of those lawsuits (by Imergent) was not freely available and I paid the L.A. Superior Court to get a copy of the decision. Numerous companies he has targeted have deserved his ire and have since de-listed or gone bankrupt.

5. I have not seen any solid evidence that Left did anything besides run a company that failed (and that may be a different Andrew Left). Searching the SEC brings up no evidence of any actions against him or the StockLemon website. Searching the web likewise brings up no credible evidence for him losing his securities license.

So what you are saying is that Andrew Left contacted you and asked you to post this withouut doing any homework on his actual attacks of HSOA.

Can you tell me why he changes his accusations, or why HSOA has not been targeted by SEC as a fraud?

Was this hedge manager by chance also a contact of Andrew Left, who has managed to skirt the law but was stripped of his securities license for fraud, bankrupted the company he was CEO of prior to starting blogging and stole checks to begin Stock Lemon according to court filings.

Just checking to see if you did your homework or if you are getting suckered in to make Andrew Left look good.
