People have no idea what to do with their money (rich & poor alike). Those who have money to … invest … rarely know how to go about it & either trust someone who might prey on them or insist on investing in a way that makes no sense. No matter how many bubbles appear, everyone thinks they're getting in on the next big thing, and no one knows when to say "enough" or even "not at all." There is a saying: "Never invest in anything you can't illustrate simply on a napkin." We should be as skeptical of most financial analysis as we are of reports in the National Enquirer.
