Salesmen, Con Artists, and Holy Rollers
If some random blogger knew with certainty when economic trends would shift – and how to profit from that news – they wouldn’t waste their time writing blogs trying to frighten you. Instead, they’d be investing their own money or cashing the Apple stock they bought in the late nineties.
Salesmen, Conmen, and Holy Rollers all want the same thing – to get you to do something for them that you wouldn’t be willing to do otherwise.
