lines Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 That's what you did isn't it Desmundo? I remember when you were on the dole, doing a bit of fiddle on the side. Now you're a successful entrepreneur with a portfolio of student lets. I bet you love listening to that Tony Bennett song whilst puffing on a knocked off fag and supping some bootleg booze. Are you illustrating an example of the people at the bottom doing the same as the people at the top! That many of those at the top were somewhere below before...

Anna B Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 They will be a minority, most successful people get there success from hard work. I'm sorry but that is no longer true. The link between work and real wealth has been disconnected, and most real wealth is now gained not through hard work but through investments, ie. gambling on the stock markets. Can I urge you to watch 'How the rich get richer' tomorrow night (Monday 17th November 2014) 8.0pm on Channel 4. 'Dispatches' "While money breeds money at the top, no such things happen at the bottom where people are trapped on benefits or low wages. This Dispatches report explores the gaping chasm that now exists between the haves and have-nots, and argues that 21st century divided Britain is a shockingly unfair society in which to live."

Its always been true, as the old adage goes, it takes money to make money. Many have been made and also broken through gambling and not only on stocks and cards, but also business investments such as cheap housing. So, will hard work get you to the first rung? Enough to invest, wisely might I add! And that is a chance to get you to the top! So it is possible for most to make it to the top! Have you seen this documentary being aired tomorrow?

I fear you're wasting your time Anna.

It takes vast amounts of money to make big money on the stock markets, (preferably other people's,) so you can ride the losses and keep ahead. Better still work for the bank, use all the customer's money, and take a percentage of the winnings, plus bonuses, (it'll be a huge amount.) And when you lose, pass the loss onto the customer so you don't suffer at all. Trust me, It's been tried and tested and it works brilliantly, (don't worry if you bankrupt a country or two - not your problem....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being rich and being successful are two entirety different things, I am successful because I accomplished my desired aims, but I am not rich and have no desire to be rich.

No your average Joe won't go from porper to millionaire on their first attempt, to think so is idiotic! It doesn't cost much to invest and the risks are minimal in certain stocks. Why take it to the extreme or does it not serve your purpose to admit anyone can make money from stocks, shares and other forms gambling for relatively low investment? The customers of banks are actually made aware of the risks when they sign the terms and conditions, or didn't you bother to read them? Trust you... as a financial advisor, no offense but me finks not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
