Well not yet, but I just saw Jimmy Johnson and Better Trades on TV. One college grad made $44,000 per month right out of college. One big fat guy made $150,000 while sleeping!!!

I can't believe anyone would give these clowns a nickel. What a turd Jimmy Johnson is. Using his name to screw people over. They try to get you to a seminar where they use high pressure to rob you. They are evidently finding lots of losers to buy their crap!!!

Whatever happen to that guy who kept advertising his seminars on "How To Get Rich in Real Estate"? Turns out that he made his fortune from selling seminars and not from investing in real estate.

There is a long line of those characters. Carlton Sheet, Russ Whitney, Tom Vu to name a few. That is not to say that one can't make money in real estate. It is just not as easy as those informericals make it out to be.

P.T. Barnum said it best "There is a sucker born every minute."

There's always The Magic Bullet (infomercial made in Canada, BTW....look at the milk they use).

And let's see, there's Don Lapre (who needs his ass kicked in) and his "The Greatest Vitamin in the World" and his Tiny Classified Ads and 1-900 number "he" stumbled onto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mubCkCAEiDQ and even Tony Robbins is losing thunder. Don't forget Kevin Trudeau and "Weight Loss" and "Debt Cures" THEY don't want you to know about". Too many laughs.

Even Donald Trump came out with his bogus "Trump University" bullshit that CNBC pushed on their show "High Net Worth". Turned out to be a seminar of bullshit with a plant making people swipe their credit cards for $2200.00 for a 1 week course on real estate. Plants in the audience too. LOL!

You can be an MBA in one week inside Trump University, accredited in academia by CNBC! ROTFLMAO!

People always attribute wealth to money and "stuff." I am financially comfortable but view myself as "rich" because I have my health and good friends. I guess I am a little melodramatic today since I went with my friend to see his mom at a hospice care facility. She has a few days, maybe hours to live. You gain an appreciation for the little things in life when you see someone's mom unconscious and white as a ghost and about to cross over from life to death not to mention the anguish my buddy is going through.

Russ Whitney is lowest of the low. There is an excellent article examining what happens when one attends one of his seminars.

Whitney’s MPAP manual provides a confession at Step 9 page 3:

“Check the room’s air-conditioning, the room must remain chilly. Warm rooms mean droopy participants and few sales.” :eek:

Yes, it was Tom Vu (in somewhat broken English). Usually, he is in a nice yacht surrounded by at least 3 blondes.

Indeed along with the equaly true: "If it seems to good to be true it is." and H. L. Mencken's "No-one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public" which applies just as well to the Canadian public.
 
Here is a real tragic story. Years ago my then boss told me that his broker had just sold him some units in a Lloyd's of London insurance partnership. Later I read in the papers that a partner has UNLIMITED liability and is exposed to UNLIMITED cash calls. Several hundred Canadians "invested" in Lloyd's and went broke trying to meet the cash calls and I seem to recall at least 3 committed suicide.
