I see - so by stating the obvious, that the massive financial services industry (including this site) exists to suck money from investors and NOT to give them a return, I am somehow attempting to make myself superior ?
As for 'actions speak louder' - what actions can you actually take on a forum other than actually posting ?
Let's consider another industry - the Bodybuilding industry.
- Magazines telling people how to get huuuuge with the latest workout/super supplement
- Crappy ebooks & courses on how to get the ripped bod you always wanted
- A whole industry selling products that don't work - pills, powders & creams that do nothing
- Internet forums attracting skinny little twinks and selling advertising space, with lots of skinny twinks posing as experts advising other skinny twinks.
- conferences, training courses, personal trainers
All of this & very rarely do you hear the straightforward fact that the huge guy on stage at the Mr O takes a sh1tload of drugs and is blessed with a good genetic response to those drugs.
Why don't we hear that? Because the magazines, the supplement companies, the personal trainers, the ebook sellers and the forums wouldn't make a cent if everyone realised what was actually going on.
Are any parallels evident here?
