Share Pitch FAQs

What is Share Pitch?
Share Pitch allows you to present your own analysis of a company and allows other members to provide feedback on that analysis. Share Pitch also allows you to view others' analyses of various companies and exposes you to a larger number of investment ideas.

How does Share Pitch work?
You can initiate a Share Pitch from the Share Pitch Forum or by selecting the "lightbulb" symbol on any corporation's Sharegate page. You will then be presented with a template allowing you to title the pitch, add content, disclose ownership, and add projected Earnings per Share and a one-year price expectation. You will also be given the opportunity to cite up to three internet-available references that support the "Pitch." When submitted, the "Pitch" is posted to the concerned corporation's page, the Share Pitch Forum, and to the dashboards of all owners and those "Watching" the concerned stock. At this point, other viewing members will have the opportunity to view and provide feedback.

What is the value in creating a Share Pitch?
By sharing your analysis with fellow Sharegate members, you will receive feedback from people who are interested in the concerned stock and may have conducted their own research. Share Pitch gives these members the opportunity to come together and conduct an informed discussion regarding the stock.

Do I have to pitch stocks to be on Sharegate?
No. It is entirely up to you which Sharegate applications you use.


I see that "pumping" is against the rules. How is a Share Pitch painting a company in a positive light different?
A Share Pitch is intended to be a sound and thorough analysis. While Share Pitches may be optimistic, a good pitch is grounded in fact and displays thoughtful analysis. Pumping differs in that it is an overly optimistic prediction that a stock's value will climb without supporting data or analysis.

Is Share Pitch intended to provide investment advice?
No. Share Pitches and related discussions should not be construed as investment advice.

I represent a corporation's investor relations department. Can I use Share Pitch?
Yes. You may present a pitch for your own company; however, we would caution you to consult with your general counsel or other competent legal authority before making any optimistic statements on behalf of your company.

As a company representative, am I able to participate in the discussion, particularly if I notice errant information presented concerning my company?
Yes. We encourage you to participate in these discussions as long as you are familiar with disclosure rules and are able to communicate while maintaining compliance. The current and potential shareholders present will likely value the interaction.

Are Institutional members allowed to use Share Pitch?
Yes. Share Pitch should benefit institutional shareholders in the same way it benefits individual shareholders.


Must I provide feedback on other members' pitches?
No, but we encourage you to do so. Other members may take a good deal of effort and time assembling their analysis, so feedback or a simple "rate up" is appreciated.
