Get Rich Quick – InTrades new marketing trick

No Gravatar

Buy John McCain at the end of 2007 (at around 5), sell high in 2008 &#8212-and get rich quick. That is what Bethan and her husband (Jonathan) did.

Today, InTrade CEO John Delaney is trying to milk out this get-rich-quick story (or a similar enough story). His message: You, too, can get rich quick&#8230- &#8212-what it takes is just registering your credit card with InTrade. :-D

What the InTrade CEO doesn&#8217-t tell you is that luck was a factor in Bethan&#8217-s sudden enrichment. Nothing wrong with tapping chance &#8212-but honesty should have prompted John Delaney to mention it. And you will notice the absence of information for the x axis (the time). Marketing and honesty are 2 words that don&#8217-t mix well in Ireland.
