Well that's what greed gets you. Jacklyn & hubby got taken in by the promises of double-digit return rates. I don't feel sorry for the gal. Stupid is as stupid does. Hard to feel sorry for a woman that wrote numerous articles supporting taken constitutional rights away from law-abiding Americans that enjoy and use firearms.

It could be the investment arm of your bank or a large investment firm in your town. We use a local saving and trust company - not sexy or fancy and our returns are conservative, but they are invested in national funds [companies that we had actually heard of] and they will be there when I become a little old lady. <br /><br />Everyone wants to do well with their investments, but too good to be true simply isn't... true. Am so sorry for all the folks who have lost money this way - and there are more every day - but your advice is right on - you really do have to do your homework.<br /><br />Anyone with enough money to invest in these big schemes, should diversify, diversify, diversify!webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.com
