In this case, the offender was a TV commercial heralding the supposed virtues of an annuity with a “guaranteed rate of return.” The suggestion is that such […]
I’ve told more than one concerned investor that when the gold price falls, they should “come back in three months” and see if they’re still worried.

It’s not just the bait and switch scams you have to watch out for; scams can be even scummier than you can imagine.
