In regards to my previous post, I should clarify that I was looking at patterns in spam, and wondering about taking advantage of the spammers.

Here's another one that turned up in my spam folder since I went to bed. Obviously this stock is well past it's prime, but it rocketed 480% from $0.012 to $0.058 between the opening of business Thursday, and the opening of business Friday: MHII.OB.

Corey Shields pointed out the markets are closed today, as it's Martin Luther King day, but I will stick to my prediction about VTSS anyway.

I'm wondering, from an IT point of view, if we noticed enough of the spam, esp. early during the spam runs, could we profit from the actions of spammers?

What do all of these have in common?
COHG EPRT FCCN GLOW GTEM HWYI HXPN LYJN MENV NWOG PRTH RRLB SFWJ UTVG VTSS

They are all stock symbols, that were promoted via pump-and-dump scams in the last 4 days.

Let's look at one the that I saw last week for a moment:
Starting Monday Jan 8th, the RRLB went up nearly 120% overnight (from $0.04 to $0.10). Then around midday Tuesday there was a big sell, followed by another big sell wednesday.

Now if we look at the others (these are all the ones that really stand out, the others don't have enough data available for me to make a conclusion).
MENV - 40% growth
NWOG - 20% growth
PRTH - 80% growth
SFWJ - 50% growth
UTVG - 80% growth in less than 12 hours.
VTSS - 10% growth since yesterday, but this spam run only appears to be starting.

I want to make a prediction here, to test a theory. VTSS will gain at least another 20% before Wednesday.
