Dave, I keep getting messages about companies that have “filed their 8-K” but the email doesn’t explain what an 8-K is, it just assumes I know. But I don’t. What’s an 8-K and what does it have to do with me as an investor?

I can’t share too many details because the situation is touchy, as you might expect, but basically I have someone working for me as a writer, contributing material for my blog, and I have been hearing that he’s writing some pretty far out, offensive material on other sites. Do I need to worry about it?
