    The company itself is an innocent bystander.


    Does anyone have any intelligent theory about HOW the pump-and-dump spammers pick specific companies to target? I mean, there are probably a lot of low-value low-volume penny stocks out there... why do the spammers seem to mostly pump the same 50 companies over and over again (the author of that site only saw 50 or so companies pumped in 4300 emails).

    I have a gut feeling that there's some collusion with insiders in the pumped companies in many of these schemes. I have no evidence for it though. Any thoughts?

    That was a highly misleading article.

    I recommend checking out the following monitors:

    http://www.spamstocktracker.com/
    http://www.crummy.com/features/StockSpam/

    You will notice that without fail: they are money losers. The odds that you *might* actually make money are directly proportional to how soon you know they will hit a certain threshold. ie: very slim. They go up very briefly, then plummet like a rock for the long term.

    It bugs me that nobody has piped up about the legitimacy of that report. What it fails to take into account are (specifically) the timing of the trades, and the long term result versus the short term. Long term will always mean you lose, without fail.

    It's important to note that in most cases the stocks being spammed are not even real companies. They're paper companies that exist solely to have stock and be pumped and dumped. It's a further illegal manipulation of the market. The SEC needs to do a lot more to fight this kind of crime but (naturally) they don't have the staff to do so.
