Have I got a copy of the RCR invoice to AVQ, no. Ring AVQ or ring RCR if you want.
I've got no proof you paid for your last big mac meal at McDonalds either, but its a fair assumption you did because they are a business and you ate their product and benefited from the services of their staff. RCR write reports for business', that's their product. If AVQ haven't paid for it then I expect we will be back in court on a different front.
from the 'Company Equity Research' tab on the RCR website......

Do you seriously not know RCR is essentially a PR firm (albeit with a more technical focus). Look at the parts above I have highlighted, it is a sales pitch direct to company's looking for investment funds in the resource sector. Notice the use of the word 'your' which I have underlined. Again, if you actually are not aware of what this is and don't believe me then ring either company. I bet they will not state, particularly in writing to a shareholder, that this is not paid for by AVQ. They may blow you off, but I bet they don't deny it. Prove me wrong.
Or from the RCR testimonial page....
“We found Resource Capital Research to be a very efficient and effective platform to get the Gold Road story out to a wider audience. The reports were well thought through and well written.”
Ian Murray, Chairman, Gold Road Resources Ltd, January 2013.

Clearly a paid for product, customers write testimonials, right?
For the third and last time, I am not knocking AVQ management for doing this, it's a legitimate way to maximise SH value. I just think it adds weight to the argument that they are trying to maximise the SP prior to a CR. Which brings me back to the original point I was making which you reacted to.
Kershads be honest, are you actually naive with respect to this report, or are you knowingly trying to muddy the waters for other posters?
Oh, and in response to your other point, the only poster I have on ignore is Jiggy888 because his posts are ridiculous. TD, Jazz etc give reasoning to their points of view and I enjoy considering their rational statements. I would say I have actually TU more of Invests posts than Jazz. But anyway, none of that is any of your business.
