That seemed to the peak of the promotion--and, not coincidentally, about the peak of HYHY's stock price as well.

I noticed you on the SLAT board too. A friend of mine got a fax promoting SLAT at work. They pushed that company hard as well.

Oddly enough, it's not only small operations promoting stocks. TD Waterhouse before they merged used to send out mailings with "great stock ideas." Some of the bigger brokerages even gave a free commission if a person bought a stock recommended by the brokerage. I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch but when there's a buck to be made, people try to take that opportunity no matter how shady it is.
