Madoff Type Stock Scams Exposed!
It seems true to say, Barnard Madoff is the new Charles Ponzi. Investors put much faith in Madoff and considering the current state of things in the fanancial markets, it is a real shame that this man could betray so many good investors! At this point Madoff Type Stock Scams have really impacted countless people around the globe.
There is now a lost of 50 Billion Dollars because of Mr. Madoff who was at one time a highly respected chairman of The NASDAQ and wiz financier. He just admitted to administrating this ponzi stock scam of the century.
This is the sort of corruption that has ruined Wallstreet and Mainstreet! But for all the investors in the future let this be a text book lesson! We must learn from these kinds of scams in order to avoid this same type of horrible financial lost in the years to come.
You can think of Charles Ponzi in 1920 and Benard Madoff in 2009 and really what they did was the same thing. They both started an Illegal Pyramid to bilk later investors, I say later investors because even an illegal pyramid scheme makes great money for early investors. These early investors are used as unwitting salesman to sucker in later investors and the sales tool they use is their Ponzi/Madoff Easy Money!
The striking resemblance of Barnard Madoff to Charles Ponzi is shocking. Both orchestrated a massive fraud that would put them in the history books and in prison for years, no small thing to do even in the world of crime. So at this point some of us are left poorer because of them, but as the saying goes "Experience Is What You Get When You Didn't Get What You Wanted" and we must learn from this experience because we don't want to go from Stock Investors to Apple Stand Sales Jobs.
Diversification is the the one and only answer to these criminals because these Madoff Type Stock Scams only work with ignorant stock investors that do not diversify. It would seem to be a no-brainer for investors but the rule should be Don't Put Every Single Dollar of Your Assets in One Investment Just Because It Looks Really, Really Good! You may end up being very very sorry you did!
Absolutely amazing offers are often the sign of a scam. Madoff promised high returns on investments with low risk and plenty of liquidity. He was offering incredibly secure investments with good returns. While solid investments do exist, you are certainly not going to find ones as amazing as what Madoff was offering. These sorts of "Fantastical Guarantees" should let you know that a scam is going on!
Madoff Type Stock Scams have taught us that we cannot rely on The SEC or regulators alone. "YOU ARE TAKING A RISK WHEN YOU INVEST" and should use your common sense and best judgment. Do not feel bad if you were taking-in by Madoff, he fooled large banks individual investors, savvy financial professionals and many others. But if you were a "Madoff Victim" here are a few places you can go to for help: bernardmadoffvictims.com & madoff-help.com
We all get taken for a ride sometimes. However, you can keep this from happening by making smarter financial decisions. Hedge Funds have a lot of risks associated with them. It is almost always better for individual investors to put their money in low-cost Mutual Funds, Bank CD's or Gold. It is less risky and easier to keep public information track of when it goes up or down. Of course in 2009 you may just want to leave your money in the bank! (c) 2009 William R. Wiedow Ph.D. - 23210
