Stock Tip Spam

Along with “Hot Russian Teens”, “The Little Blue Pill”, and “Lower your Mortgage”, one of the spams I seem to get frequently is stock tips. Some little crappy company that someone, usually not the company itself but some other slimeback, is trying to “pump and dump”. Seems to me that it would be interesting to put together a tracking system for these – if I had bought them when I got the spam, how did they tend to do. Would they all follow similar trends, say rising quickly then plunging? If so, could one develop a speculative strategy for cashing in on them? Yeah, probably hoping for too much. But if you decide to try it, please let me know how it goes.
