Actual definition of boiler room...this should sound really familiar to you guys on BTS...

DEFINITION of 'Boiler Room'

'Boiler Room'A broker using boiler-room tactics gives customers only positive information about the stock and

discourages them from doing any outside research.

Boiler-room salespeople typically use catchphrases like "it's a sure thing" or

"opportunities like this happen once in a lifetime".




My research also shows that "to the moon" "WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" and KABOOOOOMMM!!! are

also commonly used.

Boiler-room methods, if not illegal, clearly violate the National Association of Securities

Dealers' (NASD) rules of fair practice.

The North American Securities Administrators Association estimates that investors lose $10 billion

a year - roughly $1 million an hour - to investment fraud promoted over the telephone.
