Some people are dumb.
Everyone always wonders why there is so much spam if no one buys any of the sketchy pills or ... um, whatever else they try to sell in spam.
On Sunday, I received 3 e-mails with a stock tip. These made it past Gmail's spam filters, so I assume lots of people read them. Amazingly, all hyped the same stock: NHVP. (I don't know anything about this stock, and this is not an endorsement to buy or sell any security. Duh.)
Here's what the stock has done the last 5 days, courtesy of Yahoo!:
Yes, this little stock went up 40%, for no reason that I can find. Other than a bunch of stupid people are probably getting caught in a potential pump and dump scheme.
This one isn't nearly as clever as one last year, though. Be sure to scroll to the bottom and listen to or read the message.
