The New Junk Email

You know how stock tip junk email has had a sudden surge in popularity? I think I figured out how it might work. See, not only are there (possibly) a few people who would believe such email tips, but there are (probably) some people who would notice these tips and say to themselves, "Hey, if I buy this before all the suckers who believe email stock tips do, I can sell it after the spike for profit!"

Devious!

even better

the folks who send out the stock-tip junk emails may have bought the stock before the spam is sent, so they can dump it at a profit based on any early-reader suckers ... ^z

Per-zactly! They're early-reader suckers, indeed!
