The
Fleecing of American Investors - 2007!
We
thought it was cleaned up in the early 2000’s. After
millions of investors were duped by financial analysts
spewing forth recommendations for worthless companies, the SEC
responded with a host of new regulations to address the
problem. Investor scams were
finished, right? Wrong.
The "Fleecing of the
American Investor" has simply morphed into another form -
one that the SEC can’t touch and it is frightening. The
purpose of this newsletter is to tell you what is going on,
why it is occurring (and flourishing) and how you can protect
yourself from becoming a victim. This is a MUST read!
