list of warning signs:

1. Unrealistic projections of future earnings and sales, far beyond anything
the company has done in the past.

2. Scant financial information about past earnings and sales.

3. Lack of a track record in the field of the projected business.

4. Failure to discuss business risks in press releases and company
information

5. Outdated financial information and failure to post quarterly results.

6. Similarity of name to that of a substantial company in the same field
(There is a Carnegie Technologies that seems to be substantial)

7. Stock is being praised by little known "organizations", with names
sounding authoritative. A gold mining stock (BCMD) was being
hyped by a "research" firm called Cambridge Research. Turns out
that Cambridge Research could not even afford an office but was
using an answering service. It was not possible to even talk to them.

8. Very large short term fluctuations in stock price.

9. Sudden shifts from one type of business to another, or the claim that
the company has numerous techologies, any one of which would
be good enough to make millions.

10. Frequent press releases. A solid company will avoid hype and depend
on demonstrated past results rather than hopes for the future.

11. Background of Chief Executive does not match the business of the
company. An ice cream man does not necessarily know how to run
a telecommunications company or a credit card company.

12. Plenty of Internet hype with posts ending in "Go _______".

13. Claims of agreements with well known companies, which upon close
examination are not as substantial as alleged.
