The Craze to Get Rich Quick

The craze to get rich quick is shown quite strikingly in the statement that is contained in the current news to the effect that during the past year some $77,000,000 was invested by Americans in various fake investment schemes. There seem to be a great many people that are willing to take any kind of foolish risk in order to get rich overnight. That sort of sentiment furnishes a great field in which the fake investment promoter may sow his seed and quickly produce his harvest. Opportunities for safe and laudable investment will bear the closest and most searching investigation. It is well always to look carefully before you make investments that may sweep away in a moment your hard-earned savings.
