Return of the Spam Stock Tracker
A few years ago, we noted with wry amusement Joshua Cyr's Spam Stock Tracker. Well, Josh is back with an updated version that is worth your while to check out.
A few items worth noting:
1st, the site has ads, and I got a kick out of how unintelligent the Google AI is for serving ads on the site -- all penny stock promoters! So much for machine intelligence.
But for a bigger laugh, the numbers since back in 2005 are pretty astonishing:
Total Cash Outlay: $70,987.00
Total Value as of 10.2.2007: $4,917.70
Net Profit: - ($66,069.30)
That's a total return of negative 93.07%!

I will mention here what I suggested to Josh several years ago: what happens if you employ some reasonable trading rules, such as stops at 5-10 down and profit taking at 10-20 and 50 % up?
It would be interesting to see those numbers.
