Everyday I get spam that tells me what stocks I should buy. It’s a good thing that my spambayes throws these away b/c I would probably lose a lot of money.
Here is a guy that keeps track of the latest spam stocks…. it’s pretty neat and shows you have horrible these companies have been performing. Out of the 35+ stocks that have been sent to him, only one has actually been a winner. You can get better odds at Vegas.

Any company that thinks trying to spam “the hottest company on Wall Street”, is bound for failure, under poor management, and should be shorted as soon as possible.
Dear Publicly Traded Companies:
It is a bad idea to send Spam to potential investors.
Your friend,
The Common Internet User




Mostly the spam comes from jerks pulling a pump and dump scam. The hyped companies may not be at fault. I get a regular blizzard of bounces (backscatter) two or three times a week because a spammer forges my email address into the spam.
