Re: the \"stock tips\" I keep getting in my e-mails
It's no different from what stock "analysts" did during the tech stock heydays. Release "good" news (true or not, usually not), get an investor (read: mark) to buy the stock, and then unload said stock on their collective asses. Also known as a "pump and dump". Very common and yet still surprisingly effective.
As PT Barnum once said: "There's a sucker born every minute."
