Certainly Randi, as a staunch atheist, was referring to religion, but I agree his point does apply to these stock scams as well. As some have touched on, we live in a world in which the ability to think logically and critically about almost anything is a lost art. Without venturing too far into religion (there are other boards for those discussions), I am a Christian and have a son who is at the age at which he is asking many questions about religious matters and truth in general. I stress to him that questioning what he believes to be true and facing his doubts are good things. If something is in fact true it will only be strengthened by honest inquiry—not destroyed. If any sort of sincere examination debunks something, it was never worth much to begin with and certainly not true. It was nothing more than Koolaid. This is equally true with these so called “investments” like FLD’s, etc. Fanaticism about anything should always be a big red flag.
I appreciate all the posts. Perhaps they will save someone from drinking a very bitter glass of investment Koolaid.
