Ha ha - go for it.

I guy I work with actually does buy those stocks. He gets in, watches it all day like a hawk, and bails as soon as the stock manipulation takes hold. Loses some, wins some.

Not like he gets any work done, though.

Haha, closed down at 60 cents.
Dumb fucks expected people to fall for that?

You'd be surprised at how many do....lot's of people on the net are really dumber n a bag of hammers. Hell, you've heard about those people who fall for the "you've won a ferrari and the only thing you have to do is send us $100.00 to cover title transfer costs etc...."

Really, those emails are no different than a stockbroker buying x share, then reccommending it to everyone within earshot and then selling his once the price starts to go up.

I kind of remember reading somewhere that a broker recently got busted for investing in some shares, they going into various chat rooms geared towards investments and touting the shares.
