shorting spam stocks
Could you make money by shorting spam stocks?

Are those companies sending spam because they are desperately trying to attract investment? This would explain the dramatic falls soon after the spam.

When investors catch on to this trend, this spam will be bad for the companies advertised. If stock spam continues after that, it will be a sign that the people behind it are not the companies, but people who make a commission from these trades.

Neat site. I don't think you can short-sell OTC or Pinksheets stocks, which is what these are. People who are stupid enough to buy such crap aren't going to figure out that seeing it in spam is a bad sign, although enabling short-selling would make the market more balanced.
