I started documenting stock spam in October 2005, but in November 2005, the quantity of stock spam became so large that I put it on hold. In mid-May 2006 I decided to take it up again on a trial basis, limiting reports to one per day per stock, but I gave up again in mid-June 2006 as the workload was still excessive relative to the importance of the issue. Others continued to do a fine job of it -- see the links at left -- but according to statistics from spamnation, the problem peaked in 2007 and dropped off abruptly in 2008, becoming a mere trickle in 2009/10. I'm leaving this blog online as a historical reference, but I have no further plans to update it, and I've disabled comments because nobody has tried to post anything but spam comments here in a long time.

Before we start with the profile of H.Y.W.I we would like to mention
something very important: There is a Big PR Campaign starting on
Tuesday . And it will go all week so it would be best to get in NOW.

About the company:

H o l l y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e provides a proprietary
technology of Digital Intermediate services to feature filmmakers for
post-production for film mastering and restoration. This technology
gives the filmmakers total creative control over the look of their
productions. Whether shooting on film or acquiring in HD or SD video,
H o l l y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e puts a powerful cluster of
digital tools at the director's disposal to achieve stunning results
on the big screen. Matchframe Digital Intermediate, a division of H o
l l y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e, Inc., packages a full array of
post-production services with negative handling expertise and
cost-effective 2K digital intermediate and 35mm film out systems. The
Digital Intermediate process eliminates current post-production
redundancies by creating a single high-resolution master file from
which all versions can be made, including all theatrical and High
Definition formats. By creating a single master file with resolution
higher than the current High Definition broadcast standards, the DI
master file enables cinema and television distributors to extract and
archive all current and future cinema and television formats including
Digital Cinema, Television and High Definition.

H o l l y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e Expands the Creative
Palette for Independent Filmmakers GLENDALE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--May
31, 2006 -- H o l l y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e, Inc. A
provider of digital intermediate film mastering services, announced
today that its Matchframe Digital Intermediate division is currently
providing full digital intermediate services for Super 16MM
productions.

H o l l y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e, Inc. (H-Y-W-I - News), a
provider of digital intermediate film mastering services, announced
that High Definition preview masters as part of its normal digital
intermediate service offerings and workflow.

"Typically, in current post-production workflow, HD dailies masters
are edited into high quality preview masters including color timing,
dirt removal, opticals and visual effects," said David Waters, H o l l
y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e president. "Unfortunately, none of
these processes translate to the theatrical release of the film as
they must all be duplicated or repeated in either a higher resolution
digital format, or photo chemical process."

H o l l y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e gives Motion Picture
producers the ability to scan their selected original camera negative
at 2k or 4k film resolution, conform a high resolution digital master
for theatrical and broadcast release including dirt removal, opticals
and visual effects, and output a High Definition preview master to be
used for preview screenings and focus groups that can be deployed in
any worldwide theater location.

"The challenge for completing the final editorial decisions on a
motion picture are balanced between the ability to display the highest
resolution picture for a test audience, and the costs and time in
having to re-master your film based on a test audience response," said
Jim Delany, H o l l y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e COO.

"H o l l y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e offers a flexible
alternative to traditional photochemical and video post-production
processes for film mastering and preview screenings eliminating cost
and time redundancies," said Waters. "We expect our HD preview
screening master services to provide crucial workflow efficiencies
helping H o l l y w o o d I n t e r m e d i a t e achieve market
growth in the current digital intermediate and high definition
marketplace."

Well, maybe the only sucker out there on this one was me. Only lost $42, but it was my Scottrade profits for two months on my $500 initial deposit. Bought HYWI at about $0.25, if I remember correctly, then it tanked. Currently sits at $0.0021, so I have 1400 shares (it split or something) worth $2.94. Can't even sell it, since I'd spend $7.00 just to do that. At least I didn't spend more than I would have on lottery tickets... Lesson learned, don't try to hit it big on something that comes to my inbox as spam. :)
