Do you buy these stocks? Is someone looking out for me or does everyone get these emails?

These are scams, driving the stock up (usually penny stocks) after they have bought it. Once a lot of people buy and drive the price up, they dump their purchase.

How lucky you are, Lucky! Someone is giving you free stock market advice!
Look, I get 20-30 of these a day. It's called SPAM. They are promoting cheap stocks in a "pump-and-dump" scam. The stocks are real but nearly worthless. They own a bunch of them. They try to generate enthusiasm to get you to buy them, which pumps up the price. When they think it has peaked, they sell theirs. Guess what? You get stuck holding a bag of worthless stocks, now worth less than when you bought them. Sucker!!!
Don't even bother to open these. Look, when you get e-mails from people you don't know, just Delete! Otherwise you are inviting viruses, wasting time, or both.

Unless you have signed up for such emails, anything else that lands in your mailbox is spam and deserves an immediate DELETE.
Some brokerage houses do issue regular bulletins which may include stock selections; but those are generally available only to clients or paid subscribers.
So, anything that is unsolicited landing in your mail is junk and should be treated accordingly ( delete and empty ).

I get them from kiplinger because I signed up for them. If you don't ask for them, they are scams.
