Retro Contracts from the Dot.Com Era



Jump to Comments

Earlier this week, the SEC revoked the registration of FinancialWeb.com, Inc. for failing to file required periodic reports with the Commission. When did FinancialWeb.com last file a quarterly or annual report? That would be Fall 2000. Almost seven years ago. No rush to judgment here.

I added FinancialWeb.com contracts to the website. All the contracts are old I know. Additionally, the year 2000 was a different era for Internet companies and stocks. You will find all the classic contracts that dot.com companies signed, such as a domain purchase agreement, a “novelty” web site purchase agreement (how else do you describe SlugFest.com?), and all the various content licensing agreements to fill out a new website.

  • You are wonderful! Keep up the good work for transparency. It is a public service - and I agree with you 100%.

  • He He He. I do business with First Republic Bank and it is an excellent organization. Personal service, polite, efficient, etc. But, they, too, have fallen into the trap of believing that publically available information is private because they want it to be. Plus, bonus points for the lawyer’s letter claiming that “one can reasonably assume” you run this website for the profit you receive from Google and threatening to sue to make you disgorge that profit! The almost perfect lawyer letter, blustering, semi-threatening, reference to obscure remedies and designed to frighten.
