To be more specific. I want to start a media company whose initial focus would be to bring attention to the numerous government technologies I have invested in. Many will change the world. I have invested in 70 different companies so far and want to profile them in either a newsletter or book. I do not know if I can get around things with just a disclaimer, but I have seen many holding companies send out newswires stating their financial interest in the companies profiled. Additionally, should I start a series LLC and put my stock portfolio under one series and the media/PR company under another? What is the legality of trading on swings generated by your own campaign?
You should consult with a securities attorney BEFORE you do any of the above. The rules governing the selling of and touting of stocks are complex and the penalties can be severe. What you are suggesting constitutes attempted market manipulation and the issuance of unregistered shares. Get a lawyer.
