Very nice report. Of course we should never forget the rules, though:

PROTECTING YOURSELF AGAINST ONLINE INVESTMENT SCHEMES

What are the rules of the road for investors who decide to travel the information superhighway?

RULE #5
Don't assume that just because someone says that they have checked something out that they have done so. Online stock hypesters make all sorts of claims about visiting companies, inspecting mining operations, and having personal conversations with co mpany officials. Keep in mind that you may not be able to verify who is making these claims ... much less whether any of the information is true or the supposed research ever took place. On a related note, keep in mind that an established tactic of inve stment schemers is to talk up mines and factories in remote comers of the U.S. (or elsewhere around the globe) where it is impossible for you to either visit in person or get meaningful information.
