I have always been very skeptical about the various get rich quick seminar schemes. I believe that they target the financially naive, who can least afford to make capital losses on investment, and who can least afford the outrageous fees that are charged for banal or misleading investment advice.
This page has a surprisingly large number of comments from people who have had real contact with these highly dubious vendors of investment training courses. Not surprisingly the experience of most of them is very negative. There are a few comments from happy customers, but usually talking about the need to avoid negativity, including this remarkable contribution:
Richard Branson says that you are only as good as the six closest people around you...I surround myself with people like the Whitney organisation and dumped my negative friends. It is much more fun (and profitable).
I have heard of some whacky ideas for making money in my time, but the idea that I can become rich by ditching my friends who haven't seen the light is odd in the extreme.
