I agree freeus. I cannot believe that someone saying, for example, 'Priceline is going to $200 this year!!!', & providing no further discussion or reasoning would be in trouble with the law. They would just need their head examined IMO ;-)

FWIW, I would think that making those wild statements without providing any reasons why would make it harder to prosecute. To me, it would be reasonable to assume that person was a nut or an overly exuberant investor. Same can be said for the person who makes wild price claims, but provides compelling analysis based on supportable data, etc., to support their share price speculation. Heck, they may be way off in their share price speculation, but might have the direction pegged based on their analysis. How many analysts spin total crap & make totally wrong calls on share price projections..... & these guys are pro's, no?

The only instances that seem clear cut, are those who make wild claims & provide a compelling case based on intentionally flawed information & outright lies used to spin their story.

Maybe they just want to shut down these threads, or at least shut everyone up, so we have a harder time accessing good info thru our WWNetwork.
