Scams Can Come in Snail Mail Too »
Every few minutes, I receive an email telling me how I'm about to miss out on the latest stock market darling if I don't act fast enough. I think that many of us do. But I also get something really similar in the mail every couple of weeks. One of these that I received earlier this year was Scott S. Fraser's Elite Stock Market Advisory. Dated "3rd Week - January 2007", I figured I'd hang onto it, and see just how well old Scott did with his picks. I mean if he did well, maybe I ought to pay a little more attention not only to him, but to those email messages as well.
So now it's a little more than six months after I received this letter, and I figured that it's worth checking back in to see how things have fared over time. Sure, it's possible that a short-term ride would have done well, but I'm more of a buy-and-hold investor anyway, as I never have time to check in every few minutes. While it's definitely possible that we may need to check back in after an even longer waiting period, as six months may not be a good measuring stick, it's a decent estimate, just to see what's happening. Ready? Here we go!
