Who Buys this Crap?

I'm a yahoo mail user. And I don't knwo about you, but recently there's been this surge of Spam involving stocks and the stock market. And it makes me laugh. Have you ever read this stuff? Today I got an e-mail entitled "complacency calcium". And it was for a stock. A stock that "is Going To Explode next 2-3 Days!!!". 'When This Stock Moves - WATCH OUT! This is your chance to get in while it is still low. Big watch in play this Tuesday morning! Put AGAO on your radar's now."

First, if you've ever gotten these e-mails (and read them...yes I do, but they fascinate me), usually the grammar is ten times worse than this. Like it's written by some small Indonesian child who is using "7 habits of highly effective people" as a guide to making money through the use of Spam.

Which brings me to my second universal inquiry. Who writes these things? Seriously. Is this the product of one of those flyers you see stapled to telephone poles? "Work at Home, Earn Big Bucks!"...write e-mails convincing dumb-asses to buy stocks. Do they do this from home? Are there many of them, in a room, comparing notes as to who's nailed the "essence" of their particular sale item in words. Do they have a target demographic? Do they make commission? Are they monkeys and this is all some animal plot to stimulate the sale of their Calcium Stock (which isn't all that dumb...seeing as success would drive the share price up, thus making their Calcium the cool stock on the block...damn monkeys, always outsmarting us...).

Who shops for stocks in their Spam? Who gets one of these e-mail and thinks to themselves "you know, they might have something here. I haven't invested in the stock market yet, but this might be my big break. I'll just ignore the bad grammar...I mean really, you don't Need to know how to Spell to know a good Stock. Heck, I'm in." You know who does that? Dumb-asses, that's who! Dumb-asses who deserve to lose their money to monkeys......and American Idol viewers......
