Today’s Adventure in the Biz Opp Jungle:
‘In which Charlie returns to cyberspace… meets a vet
who claims his milkshakes win him millions at
the races… and says hello to a familiar face.’
Hi,
At last, I’m back online.
No more running around the house, waving floppy disks, and raging to nobody in particular, ”I CAN’T WORK IN THESE CONDITIONS!”
Well, give it a few days…
But I’ll tell you what. It’s weird being out of cyberspace, even for a week.
Because when I searched through my Biz Opp Jungle inbox today, I discovered that I’ve missed the tale of the horse vet and his magical milkshakes.
Listen up. This one’s a corker.
The tale of the vet and his magic milk
The story goes that this guy called Tim Eastman – AKA, “the Vet” – has developed a milkshake that boosts the race performance of any horse who drinks it.
Yep.
‘The Vet’ claims that it worked wonders in the United States. He won millions of dollars on races because he fed rank outsiders his wonder-shake and they’d turn into instant Red Rums.
Wow. A 33-1 outsider wins the race like a 2-1. No wonder this guy’s so proud of his special milkshakes.
But then the US authorities discovered his little wonder-shake ruse and seized all his assets.
Uh-huh.
So he came here to the UK where he has, yet again, been making millions on the gee-gees with his magic vetinary skills.
That’s roughly how the story goes in his promotional mailshots anyway.
Not only that, he GUARANTEES you that his milkshake-based tipping system will make you £3 million profits over the next 5 years.
Better still, his offer comes with a watertight guarantee underwritten by Zurich Financial Services, Regulated by the Financial Services Authority, and approved by the office of fair trading.
Well...
...uh...
….I’ve just got to say….
…BALLS!
This is so ridiculous, it’s sublime
There’s no way this can be true.
…No way on earth that a vet and his wonder-shakes is winning millions on super horses at the races.
…No way on earth that the guarantee is underwritten by those reputable establishments. Eastman hasn’t even put his company registration details on his mail-shot.
… No way that you should pay this guy (cash or cheque only!)… even if it’s just £149 for 10 winners over 2 weeks for a guaranteed profit of £20,000
Because this is the biggest pile of stinking horse manure I’ve ever smelled in my life.
It’s so ridiculous it’s sublime. I want to get his promotional piece, frame it, and stick it on my wall for a laugh.
But I won’t be laughing if I hear of my readers getting scammed by this.
So AVOID, PLEASE.
Treat this one with a bit of caution too
While the story of The Vet was genuinely a new one for me, some things never change.
I’ve had a few emails about Darren Winters and his Win Investing seminars.
Unless you never read the papers, EVER, you’ll have seen plenty of ads for Winters’ free seminars.
If you’ve tried Russ Whitney or similar, you know the score – lots of hype and slick sales chat, with few specifics, but lots of promises and dreams.
That’s because the free seminars are simply a hard-sell for the 2 or 3 day trading seminars, which cost around £2,000, depending on where and how you signed up.
I personally like going to these free seminars because I’m interested in how people sell stuff and how these guys push out buttons. So by all means try them out.
Just don’t expect to come out of the seminar with too many specific trading tools…
Erm… ANY trading tools, in fact.
I hear that the seminars themselves, however, are better.
But reports are mixed
Certainly, you can find out a lot of stuff about trading in 2 or 3 days.
Pay your two grand, go to the seminar, and you’ll get an overview of various types of trading, and learn some principles.
You’ll also be part of an investment club, and get DVDs and other materials to take home. So if you’ve got £2,000 to spare, you’re completely new to trading, and you love going to seminars, then try it out.
But if you’ve done already some trading, you might find a lot of it basic.
Also, there will be a lot of talk, breaks, repetition and putting up with other people’s pointless questions. It will be very slick and US-style pushy.
Not, personally, my cup of tea.
Oh, and I’ve heard that the buffet lunches are rubbish.
I’ll chuck in my tuppence-worth here
While I’m sure that the Win Investing seminars are decent, above board and useful, I’ll give you my own advice.
If you’re new to trading and just want to find out about it, then why not buy an entry-level course before you go spending £2,000?
Have a look on my site. There are two great courses: ‘Trading The Easy Way’ and ‘How To Easily Trade Your Way to an Income for Life’.
Both of these show you the ropes, give you the overview, and detail the basic principles of trading.
Both are less than £150 and should really be your starting point if you are thinking about going into the markets.
If you’re more advanced… well…. for the same price, you can get a dedicated and focussed home trading course like ‘Don’t Tell The Professionals’, which comes with tuition, trading software, email support, market overview emails and regular contact with the trader himself for a year.

Personally, I think that’s a better deal.
I’m prepared to be proved wrong
If the Winters seminars were a grand cheaper, or I’d read more rave reviews, I’d probably give them a bigger thumbs up that I do here.
But at two grand, I have reservations that you’ll get as much out of it as you think.
That said, I like to be open-minded. So if you’ve been to a Win Investing seminar and loved it, then please drop me a line:

I’ll happily amend my review and let everyone know.
Later alligator,
