Josef, Just saw a teaser on CNBC. Tomorrow they will have as a guest an Internet stock guru. Prominently featured on the television screen was a Silicon Investor logo, and above that video coverage of a male in an ordinary shirt and jeans. Coverage was from the waist down, so you never got a look at his face. CNBC implied in their teaser that most people have never heard of this new guru. Methinks it is Tokyo Mex, but not 100% sure.

Has anyone given a name to the art of including totally unrelated big board stocks in the press releases of small, crappy OTC:BB companies?

(NYSE:FDC - news), transacted over $6 billion in credit card transactions in 1998 #reply-7873484 ConSyGen's Counterfeit Cop has landed on another planet, www.planetshopping.com, with a ''hot-link'' back to Yahoo's (NASDAQ: YHOO - news) secured shopping network. #reply-7866720 What about the term "leeching", as in: "piggybacking onto a successful company in the hopes of sucking money from their unsuspecting shareholders"? - Jeff
