For some reason, I've been inundated over the last couple of days by the same email telling me to invest in a company called Cana Petroleum. It's not just one or two emails - 'Lacy', 'Darcy' and 'Christina' are clearly under the misapprehension that I need to be told the same message many times over. I haven't the slightest interest in petroleum or share prices, so why they think I need to know is beyond me. So if anyone is interested, it is trading at $2.20 somewhere in the world and we're all being encouraged to "ride it to the top" - all the way to $10+ - no problem. Maybe this our ticket to riches. Maybe some divine intervention has landed this big opportunity on our laps. If only I had a spare $2.20 to buy a share. The emails are addressed to mobiwh (j.rigby is so similar that I can understand the mix-up.) So if anyone knows Mobiwh pass on the message - "get in there now. this is the big one. win BIIG (sic) with CNPM!". Don't you just HATE spamming.

Id love to actually know whether these spam email share tips have worked.
Surely if there are 10 people stupid enough to do it, then the prices will actually rise.

I had a look. Allegedly, they've knowingly or unknowlingly 'spammed' thousands of people over the last few days and their share price has gone from $2.00 to.....$1.51. Well that's worked out well for them.

Probably bumped up when they bought a boat load of them, they send the email, they wait for stupid people, then sell sell sell!

The thing is, they don't understand the meaning of timing. You can send a message repeatedly but put an interval in between at least. A constant barrage of marketing emails can really turn a potential customer away and forever tarnishing our reputation.
We have to choose when to make our move.
