By age six or so we were sufficiently fluent in language that we could go to school and understand the teachers, our fellow students, etc.Similarly, few successful investors remember their initial struggles to understand the language, the concepts, the subtle art and fine science of real estate: negotiations, deals and transactions.Only a very few of us are natural teachers - able to understand how others learn and able to tailor our language, presentation, modality, etc. to suit each individual.

Found some gold jewelry in one - got over $100 from cash-for-gold dealer.The refrigerator is best just removed without even opening the doors, due to the science experiments contained therein.Funniest one is the one where they were reading a book called "A Day Late and a Dollar Short" - considering that their mortgage was WAAAAYYYY more than a day late, and WAAAAYYYY more than a dollar short :) ....

Using hand written letters, one color over another, these things are part of the science of marketing, with the sole purpose of getting your message opened and read.

That's got to concern you if you're thinking of giving them your hard earned $$$.At some point, you realize, this is NOT rocket science and you either get off your butt and go do it, or you move on to some other infomercial-inspired dream.
