MARKET COMMENT
Become A Zillionaire!

Dear Fool,

Are you tired of working? Are you up to ears in debt? Do you wish you could retire before your fortieth birthday and be really smug at the golf club?

I was in your position just a few years ago but I have since found the answer! You can too. With the secrets of stock market investing / buy-to-let / ostrich farming / voodoo (delete as applicable) you can become a zillionaire within as little as two years, even if you don't currently have a penny to your name!

Join us at the local Rundown Hotel for a free two-hour seminar. Book your place now, as places are strictly limited and going fast! Make sure you quote the key words "MUG PUNTER"

There seem to be a lot of these free seminars around at the moment. Often they are "As Seen On TV", most likely Watchdog I suspect. As well as appearing in the press, you also get them through the post as well. In fact there was a great line in one we received the other day:

Now I am debt-free (apart from the commercial loans to fund portions of my property portfolio)

In other words, apart from my debt, I am free of debt. Hurrah!

I'm almost tempted to go along to one of these seminars just to see what they're actually like. I'd make sure I wore a disguise and left my wallet at home though. The cost of taking part in these schemes is always mysteriously absent from the initial marketing blurb. But this is how these people make their money, rather than the investment scheme they offer.

Perhaps there ought to be a free seminar in how to get people to pay you thousands after one free seminar. Now that might be worth attending.
