Trading Booklet In The Mail

In the mail today I received a little booklet the title on the front of it says:

  • If you had said “YES” to any of my previous invitations – then you would have been 420%... 400%... or 259% RICHER today!
I thought he seems to have trouble figuring out how much to promise people, I mean will I get 420%, 400%, or 259%?

As I was throwing it in the trash I got a phone call from a friend who told me they just got a booklet in the mail promising 300% returns and wanted to know if I thought it was a good deal.

I pulled my booklet back out of the trash and asked my friend “how much his was charging?”  

He said “$149.00”

I flipped my booklet open to the last page and told him “you’re getting ripped off, I can get you 420% for only $97.00”

Here is the sad part - he believed this stuff.

It seems to me that it should be obvious that these people are only interested in one thing and that’s your $97 bucks.

I scanned through some more of my booklet and it gets even better:

  • It will take you only 40 seconds a day to lock in these amazing trading profits.
I don’t think I can even check one quote in 40 seconds.  I know I can’t log onto my account and place a trade.

There are a lot of people who are profitable traders, some of them will tell you how they do it. But I have never met anyone who could make 400% and wanted you to pay them $97 up front for them to tell you how it was done.

Save your money and buy a trading book, it’s a much better investment.
