Investors put their faith in the likes of Bernard Madoff, and this faith was betrayed! Barnard Madoff (Charles Ponzi 2) has become a real shame considering the current state of things in the financial markets. Today Madoff Type Stock Scams have hurt many people all over the globe. Mr. Madoff used to be a highly respected financier and former chairman of the NASDAQ. He recently admitted to administrating a ponzi stock scam that cost innocent investors over 50 Billion Dollars! This is the sort of corruption that has ruined Wallstreet and Mainstreet! But for all the investors in the future let this be a text book lesson! We must learn from these kinds of scams in order to avoid this same type of horrible financial lost in the years to come. The infamous Charles Ponzi of Boston developed the ultimate scam "The Ponzi Scheme" and in the 1920's cost investors million of dollars! Rather than making profitable investments with the money of new and unsuspecting investors, a ponzi operator was giving away the money of new investors to older investors to make them happy. Eventually Ponzi's entire edifice did collapse. This is precisely what happened when Bernard Madoff orchestrated this corrupt stock scheme. We can learn a few important lessons from this saga, and we had better do so if we want to avoid getting the wool pulled over our eyes again! Diversification is the the one and only answer to these criminals because these Madoff Type Stock Scams only work with ignorant stock investors that do not diversify. It would seem to be a no-brainer for investors but the rule should be Don't Put Every Single Dollar of Your Assets in One Investment Just Because It Looks Really, Really Good! You may end up being very very sorry you did! Looking back on Madoff and his years of paper trail scaming, it seem impossible that anyone in their right mind could fall for this con artist! The stock market went up some years and Madoff made investors money and the stock market went down some years and Madoff made investors money? it's just a Fantastical Investor Fantasy! Not to say you can't make money in Bull and Bear markets, but it takes real investor savvy the kind that Madoff did not have one iota of. He just had the con artist savvy to relieve people of their money. First off, if you need help right now because you are a Madoff Victim you can go to: madoff-help.com You should not feel too bad about this, remember Madoff suckerd the best banks savvy brokers and professionals who should have avoided this guy like the plague! Common Sense tells all of us That You Are Taking A Risk When You Invest and on top that The SEC was next to useless in The Madoff Affair? We just can't get away from the fact that we all get defrauded sometimes and for the individual investor it would be safer to stay away from risky Hedge Funds and stick with Mutual Funds, Bank CD's, Gold or Silver. This may not make you a smarter investor, but at worse you would have a better chance of retaining your investment captial. This year of 2009 being what it is you may just want to leave most of your cash in the bank. (c) 2009 William R.
