The SEC has my favorite RSS feed

How, you may ask, could the SEC possibly have my favorite RSS feed?

The chart above is of a penny stock in which I got lucky a few years ago. I sold on its runup, but kept a few shares around, just in case. Early this calendar year, thanks to a pump-and-dump website named "The Stockster", I was able to exit that remaining position on an inexplicable 100+% run in a couple of days. Just look at the volume in the chart -- you'll see it. While that web site's play was obvious to me, clearly someone bought.

Hmm, I thought, there oughta be a law.

Oddly, there is.

Nicholas A. Czuczko, age 34, of Beverly Hills, Calif., routinely recommended thinly-traded penny stocks on his website while he personally planned to sell the stock into the rising price spurred by the recommendation. Czuczko's practice was to buy shares of the recommended stocks shortly before posting the selection on the Stockster website. When unsuspecting Internet visitors bought the recommended stocks and drove up the price of the shares, Czuczko sold or "scalped" his holdings for substantial profits without disclosing his own sales on the Stockster site.
...
The Commission's complaint, filed in federal district court in Los Angeles, seeks to enjoin Czuczko from future violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws (Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder). The complaint also seeks to enjoin Czuczko from violations of the ownership disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws (Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 16a-3 thereunder).

Nice place a little stock fraud will buy you.
