First Time Poster. Have a Question [SPAM]

[rocco255]

Hi my name is Laura. I am a first time user. My husband works for the department of defense. He says that Stock Ticker Symbol: (**SPAM REMOVED**) just got approved for a U.S. Communities contract. This could mean a lot of revenue for the company. My husband told my brother to buy as much as he can. How much do you think I should buy? This could mean TONS of Money :)

Laura,

Welcome to the forum that is a very tough question! I would direct that one to your Financial Planning Pro!

Laura, seems like you should investigate ticker symbol: SPAM

All taken care of now!

Good catch! I haven't been here since Saturday, so I'm glad GolfGuy got it! :cool:

I just acted on good ol' HMiller's observation.

Apparantly stock tips are the new viagra. Some sad boffin has done a study of spam emails and found that stock tips are the most common spam email. I thought they peaked a couple of years ago, but maybe there is a comeback - after the Germans (http://sarahk.pcpropertymanager.com/blog/racist-spam/76/) of course.

I can just imagine the scrutiny afterwards
* so you thought you'd risk a Martha Stewart type insider trading conviction based on a first post on a real estate forum?
* so you risked our life savings based on a first post on a real estate forum?

oh yeah, sign me up

LOL, that is the funniest post I have seen in a while. I used to be a stockbroker so I know. First off, If that was really true you would not be on here telling or asking anyone how many shares you you shoud buy. You would keep it quiet. Insider trading is Illegal "Martha Stewart" DO I need to say more? Your husband works for them? Than why would you be asking us how much to buy ask him. What this is actually is a hopeless attempt to maybe get a rumor out and one person tells another and some poor fool buys the stock and - so on increasing the price. I would be carefull either way, because even that is very Illegal. "Federal Offense, True or Not True"

The ol' "pump it and dump it" scam.

[amberstar702]

A not very clever attempt by "Laura" to do some manipulating. Some of the first posts by spammers and "fly bys" can be very amusing once I get over my initial annoyance. :)

Well if you look like that, you can post here anytime. As long as you include that pic. Sorry but had to make the observation, since everyone was thinking it anyway.

Wink, Wink

Everyone likes Amberstar's avatar! :rolleyes:

[amberstar702]

Thanks, guys. I needed a lift like that today. :cool:

[Phoenix Realtor]

Ahhhh... now if you could only post the entire shot, without the bottom part cut out, on one of these threads you'll really get all the guys (and I guess some girls) tongues to hit the floor. LOL :p

Great call... :(

Laura, seems like you should investigate ticker symbol: SPAM

[amberstar702]

Guys, compliments are fine. However, requests for content writing are better...... :cool: Loosen up those wallets. I have worked with some of you but not enough.

If you liked that, I have this great aquatic property in Florida for sale..... :D Nice touch about the department of defense. Like anyone exposed to government contracts is going to be posting on a forum.

I like it, I've got this job lot of B52's, any serious offers considered. :D

The last stock tip I took was from my brother in law who told me to buy stock in the company he worked for..........needless to say, the shares have been issued, and I have put them in my safe depoist box....maybe some day they will be worth something........I bought at $40 a share and the last time I checked, the stock was trading at 1.43 a share :o
