Ever since my name showed up on an SEC filing I get an endless stream of idiot brokers calling me with recommendations that look like the above. If you stop and think for a moment the guy on the other end of the line is a kid that make less money than most of the people on this thread and has little or no net worth - why do people listen? The call yesterday was at least amusing. He has a recommendation for a company that made some sort of penile erection cream and was sure that the stock would skyrocket. I asked him if they make money - his response was no but they only lose 1/2 as much as their competitor and should have a valuation that was at least twice as high as the competitor. This is true I am not making this up.
