Here’s a typical bullion ad to trade online, and quite typically there is no mention of risk in the stated fantastical returns. So who wouldn’t  want to get a  170% return in a week? This is the kind of thinking that I mentioned in my post on investing online. While driving to work one day in 2000 I saw a billboard that said ” If you can click a mouse you can invest and buy and sell shares online” my response to this kind of thinking? “Yeh, right, and you can also jump off the empire state building, and wish to catch an updraft, which  lands you safely and gently on your feet. 

Clearly there are a lot of people out there trying to get these returns. 

So here’s the challenge, since you are all heated up and ready for competition after the last post.
