The "get rich quick" ads are getting over the top. The latest include the woman who can't get the guy next to her on the airplane interested in her online broker, until the ambasador of a foreign nation thanks her from bailing out his nation... At least one current ad pokes fun at the get-rich-quick concept, with a guy trading at work making a big kill, whooping it up, and telling the boss where he can shove it. Unfortunately, he didn't hit the "sell" button, and when he gets back to his desk, "XYZ" is down hard. "Ooooooooh noooooo!" At least Datek (I don't think) hasn't engaged in this type of advertising.
