Research Update - March 31, 2022
Note: This is only the research summary. The PDF for the full 13-page Research Update report will only be visible to clients logged in.
News: Probes Reporter will soon be Disclosure Insight.
In March, I made the milestone decision to rename Probes Reporter to Disclosure Insight. “DI” is a brand I created and always loved, but had to abandon about 10 years ago after a deal with a public company investor went sour (50 people lost their jobs on that one). Got the trademark back in 2015, renaming now. Twitter handle is @DIReports. Full rollout starts May 1st.
As always, there’s a lot for you in today’s research update. To produce this one report, which you will consume in only minutes, I will have filed hundreds of FOIA requests and appeals, and then personally read through untold thousands of pages of SEC filings. I do this so you don’t have to. All I ask in return is that you consider joining me, or staying on, as a paid member.
