I was driving today and overheard one of the financial radio informercial/programs, something like Investing for Seniors. A trainging with guaranteed income, probably a scam where a senior gives them all the money in exchange for "guaranteed" (for those who haven't heard of AIG going down) income.
And then they answered lots of calls, and the guy was all gitty-up on investing in real estate.
And of course he had to mention that gold "securities" are risky.
And then he dared anyone to call and voice an opinion.
I had an itch to call. really, see how dumb one could be...or if his screening is such that smart people just don't get to be on.
But it looks like we are alright anyway, everyone should sell their stashes, buy gubbermint bonds and live happily ever after.
