Hot Stock Tip
FOUND by Corey Smith in New York, New York
I found this on an M104 bus while coming home from class. It was at eye level as I stood on the bus, wedged in between a metal frame of an advertisement poster. I assume someone in the medical industry wanted to help everyone out on with a hot stock tip, and I found it very fitting that the ad was written on the back of what appears to be a cough syrup box.

Cough syrup? Nice connection with bird flu:))

It hasn't been doing so hot. A year ago it was over $6/share, now it's below $3/share. But you know, "buy low, sell high". I won't be buying though.

Hey yeah, it looks like this would be the time to buy. http://www.investorguide.com/stock.cgi?ticker=NVAX
It fell a lot, but looks like it's rising again. Uh, but I'm not a broker, so I very well could be full of crap.

Bird flu vaccine? That thing really is out of control. World-wide it's killed what, 160 people? Yeah, we really need a vaccine for that.

Probably why their stock price isn't so great.

I refuse to take stock advice from cough syrup.

This looks like planned "spontaneous" marketing on about the level of those stock market SPAMS I get everyday in my e-mail. Lame!

After all that hype, bird flu has been a major disappointment.

KH in sitting at my computer desk... duh!
Moe - what scares you? The bird flu or the fact that Greta could very well be full of crap?

The news broke April 2. It went up from about $2.60 to $3.20, but is back below $3.00 now. I'll pass, thanks.

I could use some of that cough syrup right about now....in fact, I could use some good stock right about now too.
This is a classic find.

This was obviously meant to be found. I like things that are not meant to be found and get found and then get on found.
This one is boring to me.

I really had high hopes for anthrax. I was hoping it would kill......just like the band Anthrax. There is no vaccine to combat Scott Ian.

Flargy, the bird flu hasn't run its full course yet. If you don't think you should be worried about it, read "The Great Influenza" by John Barry.

Forget bird flu! I'm waiting for SARS to run it's full course!

Sarah! What is Spajunkie gets the bird flu from the chicken stock! I'm panicking!

Maria in wondering........
Maybe this is all written in code. Only the person it was meant for on the bus, didn't receive it because Corey from New York NY found it first. "Just about ready to go" can stand for anything! Think guys....

Ok, I got curious and checked it out. File this one next to the letters from Nigeria and Hong Kong, guys. The methodology is suspect and there are questions about it's effectiveness and safety. Advertising like this? Figures.

There are far more frightening organisms out there, btw. Bird flu is scary for it's potential. Ick.

Haha nice find. Either he works for the company, or he's kicking himself right now because he lost the note he wrote down with the newest hot stock.
