Stock Spam
Studying Stock spam is becoming an obsession for some, but this is just another method of Stock manipulation. I have been getting an increasing amount of Stock spam in my inbox lately, yea their getting through the spam filters. Most of them use a woman’s name as the sender and a few appear to have landed in my inbox by mistake when Joe tells Sam about his insider tip.
I don’t buy Stock because I know their values are not based on reality.
Spammers manipulate stock markets — When I saw this story in the BBC I broke-out laughing, don't you think the BBC participles in Stock Manipulation? Do you imagine that the British upper class maintains their states and wealth by mere speculation?
Reuters and Bloomberg publish fact and fiction about Stocks everyday and they have preferred subscription customers who receive timely information before everyone else does, information is power and timing is everything.
New Media has learned from the old hacks so it won’t be long before the SEC busts a blogger for Stock manipulation, because it’s going on now.
Back in March there was buzz generated on blogs about Google buying Sun, Sun’s Stock rose 20% in a few weeks, so how long before the SEC notices?
