I'm actually quite annoyed with myself for wasting so much time on such absolute bollocks.

There may well be quite a lot of truth in there about the state of the economy etc. for all I know - but near the end he starts talking about investment "secrets" that will protect you in the coming economic collapse, and that he will give away detailed reports of these "secrets" FREE OF CHARGE to subscribers. And you can subscribe now for HALF PRICE!!!1! at only $49.50. :roll:
[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]

Going down? Maybe. But the real question is: Going down on who? (Or is it 'whom'?)
Who needs a signature anyway?

There aren't any foreigners left since everywhere outside of the USA is now part of Greater America. :dance:

I knew it. The first 5 minutes had all the earmarks of an advertisement. That's why you get a pop-up when you try to leave. That's why I couldn't be arsed to watch the whole thing. Thanks for the confirmation, Psychoserenity. :tup:

That it is selling a product does not remove the truth value of the reasoning. It may even highlight it by showing how standards have dropped in the USA?

True, but it vastly lessens the possibility that I'll ever be exposed to the reasoning. The extreme claims the advert made are simply scare tactics, as far as I can tell. Marketing. A good idea will sell itself without resorting to such. If it's so great, why not publish it in a peer-reviewed journal instead of trying to sell it over the Internet?

Not sure what standards you might be referring to, but using scare tactics to appeal to a public that has been exposed to so many scare tactics by the tin-hatters seems like a very unwise marketing strategy, which makes me question their market saavy, at least. That sort of marketing approach appeals more to the gullible and already-scared, as well as conspiracy theorists, not so much to intellectuals or professionals in the field of economics. That leads me to expect that the content of his product will likely be of little intellectual or professional appeal. Just the 5-minute intro was enough to drop my IQ by 50 points. With my IQ level, I can't afford to watch another 90 minutes of the same. ;)

If you want to be right then say so, don't employ the big sell on me as I'm not a interested party. :naughty:
