]]> Comment on Forex scam wallops Forbes crowd by marcomp http://cocktalesdotcom.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/forex-scam-wallops-forbes-crowd/#comment-37 marcomp Sat, 21 Jul 2007 05:07:15 +0000 http://www.cocktales.com.ph/forex-scam-wallops-forbes-crowd/#comment-37 I heard they even offered buffet meals in their offices just to woe their clients into investing with them...dressed to impress. What surprises me is that all these families are backed by at least one man with sophisticated investment know-how. A promise of extremely high returns on foreign exchange alone is an impossibility. You would need millions, and I mean millions of the great greenback just to make a substantial amount on FX trading. So come on, next time, with the amount of money these families have...talk to the banks...we have HSBC, Deutsche, ING, Citi, Calyon, CSFB, etc. in Manila. My goodness, PERFORMANCE!?!? It's very easy to fool people in the world of financial markets...just add a little PIP, stochastics, swaps, spot and hint of arrears reset swap and a pinch of moving averages convergence divergence, they're bound to confuse you and still you're impressed. Let's be more careful next time. I heard they even offered buffet meals in their offices just to woe their clients into investing with them…dressed to impress.

I wonder why PDI treated you with utmost disregard, even siding with a leftist (I forgot his name) to the extent of suspending you; and now, threatening you with legal action unless you stop using your trademark (cocktales). PDI is really getting out of this world, what with its regular columnists who are leftists or diehard commies, you have your hands full. Be cautious in dealing with their emissaries because you don't know what they are up to. More power to you. Dear Mr. Agustin,

Touche!
