[QUOTE="Billincolo, post: 691924, member: 17389"]I stand by my original statement, that this is the stupidest comment an investment sales pitch could make. Imagine this conversation: Joe: "Here, buy my AGE's for $1150. each." Bill: "But I've heard gold is $1009.60 as of Friday afternoon." (9/18/09) Joe: "Yeah, but it's never been worth zero." Bill: "Well it's already worth less than you want for it." Joe: "Yeah, but it's never been worth zero." Bill: "What's that got to do with anything?" Joe: "Well, you'll never lose your WHOLE investment!" Bill: "So you're saying it's okay if I lose twenty percent if I don't lose it all?" Joe: "Yeah! That's it! It's never been worth zero!" Bill: "Go buy a bridge ... and jump off of it." ... and on and on. I apparently don't make allowance for stupid admen who make up what they think is a good sales pitch and can't see how dumb it is. Maybe it's just me. By the way, I have a nice 1996 Mercury Sable for sale that's never been worth zero, just in case anybody is interested ...[/QUOTE]
