Was forwarded this from a friend's email this morning.

Seems pretty garbage to me since he's just trying to sell his investment product.  Maybe some minor truths but anyone else care to share their thoughts?

Oh Loaded, who art up in Mt. Gox, hallowed be thy name!  Thy dollars rain, thy will be done, on BTCUSD.  Give us this day our daily 10% 30%, and forgive the bears, as we have bought their bitcoins.  And lead us into quadruple digits

He wants you to invest in a "secret alternative currency", which turns out to be collectible gold coins. Other than that, he has nothing to say.


Oh, and this ...

Plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), for its Complaint against Agora, Inc. ("Agora"), Pirate Investor LLC ("Pirate") and Frank Porter Stansberry ("Stansberry") (collectivley referred to as "defendants"), hereby alleges as follows:

INTRODUCTION

1.   Defendants engaged in an ongoing scheme to defraud public investors by disseminating false information in several Internet newsletters published by Agora or its wholly owned subsidiaries such as Pirate. Through various publications, defendants claimed to have inside information about certain public companies. Defendants suggested that its readers could cash in on the inside information and make quick profits. The defendants offered to sell the inside information to newsletter subscribers for a fee of $1,000.

2.   Numerous subscribers purchased the defendants "inside tips" and made investment decisions based on that information. The purported inside information was false and, as a result, the subscribers did not realize the profits the defendants promised.

3.   The defendants, however, profited handsomely. On information and belief, Agora received in excess of $1 million from the sale of false information to its newsletter subscribers.

I really tried to watch the whole video, but I felt myself growing dumber by the second.

Cool, thanks guys.  I already told said interested people who forwarded me the article / video that it was pretty much junk just from the encouragement used to "buy" into something and not really invest.  Thanks.
