In the COMMENTS section, We will NEVER offer any investment products, recommend a stock broker, or anything similar. Some scam bot commenters coordinate a “conversation,” including “asking” for investment help, and reply with "how great X idea/investment/person is" in the replies. These are scam threads. Do not fall for them." This does not constitute an investment recommendation. Investing involves risk. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Consult your financial advisor for what is appropriate for you.
