wanna know the scariest thing about Ponzi? His too-good-to-be-true pitch was the following: give me your money for 6 weeks, and I'll give you a 50% return. We did better than that during the late fall. Think for a second: on our supposedly legit investments, we made more than Ponzi the conman was promising his suckers. And people wonder why normal people consider this a bubble... :0)
