I've gotten a TON of it too in one of my accounts.  \n\nI think you're reasoning is rihgt.  they are just trying to raise the price so they can profit.

These type of complaints should go to abuse@yahoo.com\nQuote the entire message including the email headers which are very important. Yahoo is usually pretty good about shutting accounts down that send spam or 401 fraud messages.

Some may be oughtright frauds where no such stock exists.  Some may be frauds wherein a licensed broker wants you to invest with him and it's all a big boiler room scam.  Some may be actual listed companies that are not following SEC rules on truthfully reporting their finances.  \n\nBut all are attempts to get you to part with your money.

Let me get this straight, you have an investor who will send you money if you send him money first? Is that what you are saying? If so, DON'T DO IT. Scam in progress.

The easiest way to get them to stop is to send the headers to:\n\nuce@ftc.gov (general spam complaints)\nAND\nenforcement@sec.gov (for reporting stocks that spam)\n\nIf they lose their listing, they'll stop spamming.

I am not sure if it is beacuase I have a margin account or not, but I don't think so cause it seems to work the same in my IRA acocunts, but I am not paying any interest. But if I sell stock A I can then buy stock B right away.\n\nThe only time it is a problem is if I sell stock B and try to buy stock C before the stock A funds have shown up. So it might be your broker. I use ameritrade.

There's a company called buyins.net that keeps a list of stocks that look like someone shorted it without connecting it with real borrowers.  There's more information at their site.

check out their feedback first ! most off them use a service call 'Drop shippers' Which is like a virtual warehouse but they can buy stock at wholesale prices and then sell them at what ever price they want to, but some are SCAMS be very careful !! Even ask the seller a question first as well.

Check out Snopes.com. They have a whole listing of scam e-mails. \n\nGenerally, if it sounds too good to be true, it is, especially if it is unsolicited mail.

I use scottrade since 2003 and have had no problems with them.  I havent bought any stocks since february and no charges or anything.  infact when I first opened the account I did not buy any stocks for 2 months and they gave me 1 cent interest for the money I had in the account.  They are cheap when it comes to buying stocks but one thing I dont like about them is they suck when it comes to penny stock.  lets say you bought penny stock that were valued at 50 dollars all together, they will charge you the 50 bucks for the stocks, the fee for the trade plus 50% the value of the stock, so you pay them 25 bucks extra simply because they are penny stock.  Other than that I like the account.
