Tip, "The stocks dabbled in were 'fancy stocks,' companies of no particular value. Their real worth, or worthlessness, is so little known that it seldom interferes with an unlimited expansion or contraction in stock prices."

Sounds like internut stocks, but it actually refers to stocks traded on the NYSE in the 1840s. From "Stocks and Stock-Jobbing in Wall Street." And we thought the Internut stocks were new. Same scam, different names. <G>
