Hilarious Story related to making money

I just read a really great story of a guy who bought an email list with a million addresses on it. He then sent a stock tip saying it would go up to 50% and then another email to the other 50% saying that stock would go down. Obviously he had then proved himself to half of his list and he did the same thing again. Taking that 50% he split them once again into two groups and said to one it was going up and the other it was going down. He continued to do this until he had around 15,000 people left. These people even if they hadnt put money on these stocks were understandably impressed at his ability to pick stocks!! He then charged them $5000 to come to a seminar led by himself on how to pick stocks. What a legend!!!! Just thought id share it with you, not sure if its true but i can see it being so.

Unfortunately all i know is what i have said. I can just imagine that he made up more lies at the seminar. If it were me i would create a subscription service or mailing list. I wouldn't want face to face contact with people who have just paid me a shed load of money for what is essentially probability!!!

Definately but you must see the genius of the plan. You would be convinced that the guy really had some good knowledge on investing!! If i had that kind of money i would be tempted. But i dont so there you go lol.

That's so hilarious! I wonder how many of the 15,000 actually paid the $5,000 to attend the seminar..if it was true anyway.
