How to avoid bad investment advice
- Never buy a financial or investing product from someone you just met.
- Getting returns over 12% per year is ridiculously hard. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
- If you don't understand it, don't invest in it.
- If one of your friends recommends an investment that's making them a lot of money, they are probably suckers too. If you see the "results not typical" on any marketing materials, move on.
- There are no "secrets of the super-wealthy" that anyone will sell you for $500 or that you can take advantage of unless you have hundreds of thousands of dollars.
