After deleting today’s daily dose of spam regarding stocks which seem immune to most spam filters, I got to wondering about them.

1. What does this spammer get out of it? - there appears to be no sales pitch or any way the spammer stands to gain anything from annoying the world’s population.
2. Do folks really buy stocks recommended anonymously?
3. If so, would it make any sense to take advice from someone you know is a criminal? - At the very least they are willing to violate anti spam laws.
4. Would you take a stock market tip from someone who can’t even spell stock? The following is an actual quote from one of these spams including stock spelled incorrectly four times in three lines, as well as numerous other mispelled words:
• When this sotck moves - watch out! stooocks wwe profilee shhow aa signifficant increease inn stocck prrice sometimes in days, not months or years, remember this is a stronng playy.
  Massive news for AG AO this thursday! A GAO is a big mover in the STCOK MAKRET!!!
5. Why would someone take stock advice seriously from someone who fills the second half of their email with random junk including such gems as:
• Ive assault thought Critical Thinking tool lash ones values
• faltering Air testing waters after moving unique radio show Big Apple wags said brand humor losing steam loss
• recent bipolar meltdown featured geezer wearing neck tie quot collar named Ned
• Planetary examples horseshoe righthand theory slope forms plateau Kinetic Geotail Flux Crabtree

I honestly can’t envision what these spammers hope to achieve with this, although I’m sure a few addlebrained folks may be taken in by it. But meanwhile at least it will provide some comic relief  if you read about Joey Headset’s Portfolio
