ALPHARETTA, GA – May 11, 2011 - Any institution familiar with investor relations knows the difficulty in acquiring clear and positive results from a investor relations program. Furthermore, for those results to be measureable they must be quantifiable. Acorn Management Partners (AMP) is ensuring the utmost clarity and effectiveness by offering a proprietary solution which allows AMP's clients to measure the effectiveness through transparency. AMP allows its clients to gain an in-depth perspective on communication between AMP and the minds of their financial professionals that are open to new ideas in the small-cap and micro-cap space.
ACORN Management Partners ("AMP") has spent the last three years building an infrastructure that we believe is unmatched in the industry.
AMP uses a hands on approach with existing shareholders, institutions, brokers, broker dealers, and the investment community in general.
"Even though we believe in technology we know that investor relations really boil down to relationships. Relationships are the only way to achieve the end result."
AMP has had some great successes over the last three years. One of its clients, Star Scientific, symbol CIGX, moved from .60 cents in December 2009 to over $5 per share in April 2011. AMP helped to add over $300 million dollars to the market cap. CIGX was the number one performing NASDAQ stock in the first quarter of 2010.
AMP was instrumental in helping AgFeed Industries, symbol FEED, gain research coverage, as well as increase institutional exposure and ownership. Its security went from mid $3s to over $7 per share. FEED was the number three performing NASDAQ stock in the second quarter of 2009.
AMP also assisted Agfeed with a NYSE/Alternext Listing effective date March 30, 2010, the very first cross-listing from a U.S. listed company.
Currently AMP is working with Revolutions Medical (RMCP) to increase its shareholder base, increase institutional ownership, and assist with an up listing to AMEX or NASDAQ.
Bill the Butcher (BILB) is another client that was engaged recently to create market awareness, increase the shareholder base, increase institutional ownership, bring in research coverage, and assist with an up listing to AMEX or NASDAQ.
