In this tip I would like to share with you a free, yet valuable resource.

Remember Bernie Madoff? His Ponzi scheme (a Ponzi scheme works very much like U.S. Social Security) collapsed in December 2008 and many investors lost a lot of money. Since then several other Ponzi schemes collapsed, frauds running them were caught, but that's a small consolation to people who were defrauded. More such schemes are still run, more will be run, and more people will lose their investments--all because they don't recognize the signs of a financial fraud. This is the price they will pay for not reading the Aegis Journal. Had they read the January 2008 issue of Aegis Journal they would know the tell-tale signs of a financial fraud. And no, recognizing those signs doesn't require digging into financial statements, being a skilled accountant, and so on... Get that issue of the free Aegis Journal and you will know what I mean.
