Many investors have lost money because the market suddenly turned bullish or bearish, they invested at the wrong time or used a misleading analysis. Forbes recently published an article on investment fraud. These schemes and cons are carefully crafted to exploit one of the most human traits in the world. But were you that dumb?

That little voice is shouting “You’ve been had, conned, scammed, you dumb ass”.
