Yeah, for some reason a lot of spammers couldn't write their way out of a wet paper bag.
I'm an administrator on another message board, and it's basically my job to weed out all the spammers who register. They usually put some meaningless blather in their profiles, and it gives them away - so I delete their accounts. A lot of spammers come from .info domains too.

got some spam like this as well.
i just for fun checked out some of the stocks and i can tell you not a single one went up after the "recommendation".
it's usually penny stocks that they try to push and i had thought that at least sometimes the stocks would surge because already a few fools can move the stock prices of penny stocks. but those stocks seem to be absolutely utter crap.

I get so much spam, much of which looks like that, and it's ridiculous. Across my three main email accounts, I get approximately 400 spam emails a day -- maybe 300 of which are caught by my various spam filters.
My favorite ones appear to be randomly generated sentences selected from a database of verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc, so that grammatically they make sense, but logically are a complete failure. Here's an example from a recent one:
"When a parking lot goes to sleep, the power drill laughs out loud."
and
"A fruitcake beyond a bartender competes with the unstable polar bear."
Watch out for those unstable polar bears.
"When a hypnotic football team rejoices, a briar patch starts reminiscing about lost glory."
I'll get emails with several paragraphs full of nothing but sentences like those.

I was hoping for something new and original. Not the same old pump and dump.
