"The following appeared in a newsletter offering advice to investors:
"Techcorporation is our top pick for investment this term. We urge all of our clients to invest in this new company. For the first time in ten years, a company that has developed satellite technology has been approved by the FTA to compete with the current satellite provider. That company is Techcorporation. A consumer survey last year indicated that over 80 percent of respondents were dissatisfied with the current satellite provider & would want to switch to another provider if the industry were not a monopoly. Thus, the new venture of Techcorporation into satellite television will prove to be highly profitable for those who invest now."" -

Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, the world is more connected and accessible. It has only been in the last two to three decades that investing became more common and available from home, thanks to the internet, for everybody, from labourer to engineers. However investing stays a complex tasks with a lot of unknown making it very risky, specially investing on the stock market or foreign exhange market. In this newsletter, investors are being advice to invest into a satellite technology development company called Techcorporation. The information given in the conjecture seems well lay at first glance, but after looking more in depth, the assumptions lacks of stronger arguments.
Firstly, a serious investor will be septikal about investing into Techcorporation with such little information about the company. To make this assumptions stronger, the author should have at least been given data on the companu shuch as profit, name of the CEO, year of creation, different products etc...to persuade the investors of the well being of this company. This company his maybe not doing well and though direct efforts into a new field such as developed satellite technology.
Secondly, the author leave the audience without explanations as for why there wasn't any other company approved by the FTA in ten years. One might ask, no other company tried because there is no chance to compete with the current leading company? It seems that the author try to make the investor believe that this company has the ressources to be up to the task but doesn't give details to persuade the investors.
Thirdly, he should have also discuss the reason why they are starting to work on developed satellite technology. As of now it seems that this newsletter is maybe only a marketing stunt to attract investors into Techcorporation. We only now that some survey was positive to a newcomer in satellite telivision provider however not much details are given about the survey to back up the idea. If this survey was based on a great number of the population, in differents areas and with more details about the reviews, then that survey would have become a key element for investors.
To conclude, the newsletter is pretty light in amount of details to support it's main idea. If the author had given more details as we saw throught this essay, investors will have probably enough material to make a move. As of now some investors might be more suspicious of this sudden interest from Techcorporation in providing satellite telivision.
