Understand what you’re investing in.
It’s just like any other product.
If you’re going to buy something, understand
what you’re buying and make sure that if
you have a question, if you don’t understand
it, or if something just doesn’t seem right,
feel free to pick up the phone and call your
local regulator and ask them, Hey, listen,
I have this investment.
I’ve been told about this opportunity.
What can you tell me about it?
And then also, what can you tell me about
this individual who’s asking me to invest?
Even if that regulator doesn’t cover that
particular investment, very likely they are
going to point you in the right direction
so you can find out more information before
you invest.
Be an informed consumer, that is my message.
