<anti- touting provisions of the federal securities laws.> Anyone read these? Might be interesting. So the SEC can get after people for touting, the companies can get after people for bashing. It's just going to take all the fun out of it for some people.

Check out these boys, they even set a record. <<Francis A. Tribble and his promoting company, Sloan Fitzgerald, disseminated more than six million spams touting two Microcap companies and were the subject of the largest number of complaints received in the history of the Enforcement Complaint Center (SEC Enforcement's Online Complaint Center at www.sec.gov). They also republished their touts in several other forms including an online newsletter and a Web site. Simultaneous with the filing of the complaint, Tribble and Sloan Fitzgerald consented, without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, to the entry of a permanent injunction and payment of a civil penalty of $15,000. (SEC v. Tribble) >> <<In conducting this Internet promotional campaign, the Complaint alleges, Tribble failed fully to disclose that he had a vested interest in an increase in the price of the stocks he was touting, or that he would be compensated by the companies he was touting in cash or securities of those companies. Tribble's activities violated Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, which makes it unlawful for any person to recommend stock for consideration, whether past or prospective, without disclosing the fact, nature, and amount of that consideration.>>
