Right. I'm sure the agents all around us. Black helicopters outside too? Would Yahoo message boards about a stock be insider trading too? I suspect not. If I told you I like stock so and so. Drum up some interest and then sell said stock. Is that insider trading? I don't think so. Although do you remember the kid who posted on a message board under various names pumping penny stocks. he did have to give back like 100,000 dollars. So you might be correct. It has to be pretty hazy and extremely hard to prosecute. First off, you don't even know my name. They going to put an arrest warant out for Mach/Dogger? Who Knows?

Like Southeagle said a pesky thing called the law. But I'm not on the investment side of the house.
