I just signed up for the newsletter at
http://www.tradingmarkets.com/signup/trial_signup_form.cfm?src=OL

Their privacy policy looked decent enough, and they used a confirmed
opt-in procedure.

I received 3 mailings from them.  Fine.  Nothing particularly
useful.  Especially if you do futures trading, the last thing you
want is a bunch of advice from "experts."

But I also have becun receiving spam to that address.  And the spam
is all financial/investment-related.  Coincidence?
