Avoid These Stocks Like the Plague

What! You mean my Chinese gold mine stock isn't legit? That sudanese broker swore it would make me millions! Good thing I only bought a dollars worth.

Go get 'em Billybob

Those that target me seem to think that I need a larger penis and a better mortgage rate,

I get those too. It's spooky, because I'm always wondering: "How do they KNOW?"

LOL! Right! I always reply to them and say, "Man, I already told you, my wife bought a 'toy' and seems to be content."

To the mortgage loan mongers I always say, "Can we somehow roll my $920 in monthly porn subscriptions into a second mortgage? Ya know, pay them up for the next ten years or something?"

He is also helpful in my area of interest, Canadian junior mines.

At first glance, I thought they were making these up north now.

DownUnder some of our bored teenagers have turned Nigerian scams into a blood-sport. They answer the ad, and drag the scam artist along for as long as they possibly can. The objective is to collect photos and other identifying material as "trophies". Those, naturally, get placed onto a webpage for bragging rights...

Sir or Madam, meet lowbridge. I regret that I don't know the URLs for his masterpieces.

Penny stocks? Tsk, tsk ...

"Deep Earth Resources", I like the sound of that.

And, it did go up 5.26% today! I'm in!

[Wolfstar]

How many people actually buy these things based on an email with a nonsense headline?

They send out thousands upon thousands. All they need is a fraction of one percent response to make some serious money.

I’m not an investor. People always tell me, you should have your money working for you. I’ve decided I’ll do the work. I’m gonna let the money relax. You know what I mean? ‘Cause you send your money out there – working for you – a lot of times, it gets fired. You go back there, “What happened? I had my money. It was here, it was working for me.” “Yeah, I remember your money. Showing up late. Taking time off. We had to let him go.”

Scamming the scammers does have a certain ring to it.

Charts are interesting, but I'm more of a bottom-fisher when it comes to stocks - lots of DD, then accumulation, then patience.

Nice charts, though. ;^)

I can't seem to get my filter to recognize them. It's because they use "word salad" and there's nothing consistant for the filter to lock onto.

Good to see you're still in the market - this gold bull has only begun to run, imho.

My portfolio is up over 100% since November, yet two of my three big positions haven't moved yet. I've caught some good moves in lesser positions, including a 125% overnight trade on a Uranium junior warrant.

Tomorrow could be brutal again in Canada, but I have a hunch that we're going to punch up again within days.

Got my gold, got my silver, got my copper, zinc and uranium, got my oilsands and natural gas - be right and sit tight!

[MoochPooch]

Those that target me seem to think that I need a larger penis and a better mortgage rate, not investment advice.

Same with me. (LOL!)

The fact I'm a woman doesn't seem to deter the targeters of #1 from spamming me.

[MoochPooch]

On email filters, the free email from Yahoo.com has a pretty good bulk mail filter built in. I have used it for years and find it separates out most spam from my real messages.

My MSN has blocks also, which are effective.

The problem is, these spammers always come back for more. They are relentless. Seems that they just don't get it: even if I block them, they think up a new address & flood my mailbox.

As a rule of thumb, I never answer any ads. Period. The ones in laughably bad English, of course, are the dead giveaway.

Actually, it seems to me that the search for ways to increases penis sizes is driven by women. It doesn't make us much difference.

Once in a while I make note of one of these 'highly recommended' stocks and check back a few days or weeks later. Seems like none of them ever go anywhere except just sag lower and lower.

[Osage Orange]

Might get out the catfish bait then.....could be some good one's lurking the bottoms soon.

[SteveMcKing]

Building up known interests is nothing new - the problem is having leverage against companies that were nice all along, and then suddenly do something bad out of the blue. I'm sure that Ford's management from 50 years ago never could have dreamed the way today's executives operate.

[headsonpikes]

There's no bottom like the bottom of the Canadian Venture Exchange dumpster. Many companies have market caps of under $2 million, and if conditions are right, an easy triple or more comes with any success in the field whatsoever.

There are also fallen angels, which burned investors keep in the penalty box for as long as possible - those are my personal favorites, as they have known assets.
