Linky

Decent enough article about hyperhyped stuff. The people that need to see it probably won't, of course. The last sentence is almost perfect.

(Just found out that you can't post a link to Marketwatch without running afoul of the Forbidden Text sniffer.)

    Words of wisdom...but it will not stop the lemmings who rush to every 'new deal' and hang on the hype put out by the TV hucksters. I have seen so many people hurt financially by these schemes. And then they get angry with you for telling them the truth. Sad.
    Cheers, RickO

    And then they think you are trying to rip them off when you make an offer more in-line with what they are really worth. I tell them there was a rip-off alright, but it was from the person who sold them the coins. It does not seem to help them much but it makes me feel better. image

    All you can do is strongly suggest that your friends and family never buy coins from TV shows. Or newspaper ads, or cold calls.

    That's probably a better move than buying gold..

    There will always be lemmings. Some years there seem to be mant more

    then other years. Most folks tend to stand like a deer in the headlights, frozen

    and willing to let whatever economic vehicle that is coming down the road ,hit them

    straight on and run over their still quivering bodies. Rather sad, but true.
