There was a story on CNN about how anonymous people on IRC (and other
commercial online chats) giving stock tips is a Bad Thing (tm).
Actually had some guy saying that a law should ban anonymous
discussions of stocks online.
Yeesh. What ever happened to caveat emptor? (Like a recommendation
on IRC is automatically more trustworthy than overhearing a
conversation in a public bathroom?)
