Hi All
What do most frauds have in common?
They have at their heart the idea that those running the fraud have information/knowledge/wisdom that no one else has and if only you had this knowledge you too would benefit hugely.
Horse racing betting systems operate on the idea they have either access to jockeys or trainers or knowledge from using mathematics that allows them to identify winners and all you have to do is pay money and they will let you in to the secret world of the winners.
Everyone wants to be a winner and everyone is programmed to believe that there is something that others more successful than them know that gives them the edge.
It just cannot be hard work and intelligence that makes someone a winner. If only they had this edge they too would be walking in the winners circle with the big boys.
The stock market has so many of these schemes running it is ridiculous. They all have within their vaults the secret knowledge that will make everyone a successful share trader all you have to do is pay money and they will give you the combination and you too will soon be strutting the halls of power like Warren Buffet.
Why because we all know Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger did not get to where they are through hard work, intellect and research they were part of the inner circle who also have access to this vault of secret information.
At least a couple of decades ago the Sydney property market was going gangbuster as it does and there was a real estate get rich scheme being screamed at you at every turn.
Clients starting asking me what I thought so I thought I better investigate it so I could properly advise when asked. I paid my $80.00 to attend a meeting which to my surprise so did hundreds of others.
The whole sales pitch was based on the idea that the leader of the scheme had stumbled upon the secret of passive wealth through real estate.
The whole thing was a scam but it was predicated on the idea he had this secret knowledge and the more you paid him the more of this knowledge he would share with you and eventually if you paid him enough money like him you would be driving a Ferrari and living on the harbour and socialising with millionaires.
After the presentation those who wanted to share in this secret knowledge had a special (secret) door revealed from behind curtains that only they could leave the auditorium through whereas the plebs like me had the normal exits.
If you went through the special door you had the opportunity to pay $3,000 to attend an exclusive confidential weekend retreat where you would learn more secrets of passive wealth through real estate.
Once I was out in the foyer I could see the secret sign up tables where on my estimation over a hundred people were eagerly waiting to sign up cash in hand.
Later when ASIC finally intervened I learnt that at this retreat you were encouraged to sign up to the exclusive secret knowledge club for an extra $8,000 which would set you up for life with identified real estate opportunities not available to mug punters.
The point of all this is that all people have this vulnerability which is the desire to know what others know that they don’t.
If you get into a lift and the occupants are speaking in a foreign language you do not understand you want to know what they are secretly talking about. We just cannot help it. It is how we are wired.
If you are at a BBQ and a group on the other side of the yard are laughing you want to know the secret that is behind the laughter.
So Tony Dawe randomly selects three groups of retail shareholders to meet Sean Hehir in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
These shareholders attend these meet ups just like institutional investors do every day of the week and ask questions of management.
These retail shareholders report back about the meetings which undermines the narrative being run by trolls and manipulators that the CEO Sean Hehir does not give a …. about retail shareholders all he cares about is stuffing his pockets with free shares and laughing at Board meetings with the Directors at what mugs retail are and plotting how to get more free shares from the lifestyle company they are sending broke.
This narrative does not fit with the CEO meeting with randomly selected retail shareholders to canvass their opinions and answer concerns.
So what to do?
Attack those who attended by suggesting they must have been given secret information not available to other retail. Suggest they are using that information to insider trade.
Why chose this attack because every fraudster knows that everyone thinks there are secrets that are being kept from them.
Quite a clever but transparent tactic
however just like the real estate scheme easily unwrapped for what it is a fraud.
The real estate scheme at its heart was buy under valued real estate and rent it for more than your repayments and in ten years you will have made money. Buy 100 similar properties and the surplus passive rental income will allow you to retire.
Even Homer Simpson would at the end of the process asked what was secret about this that I have paid thousands to find out?
Unwrapping the lie about this meeting is very simple. Insider trading is a very serious criminal offence.
Knowing this Tony Dawe has randomly selected groups of retail shareholders who do not really know each other from three different capital cities to attend a meeting with Sean Hehir CEO for the purpose of breaking the law and disclosing confidential information to people he has likely never met before in his life.
Armed with this information these retail shareholders then disclose to the world at large they attended these meetings.
If that makes sense to you I have a real estate scheme you may be interested in.
The trolls and manipulators do not stop there of course they then engage in a campaign of name calling and constant personal attacks and every now and then throw in comments about ‘a secret’ meeting that is no more secret than the sittings of Parliament.
For the benefit of newer readers I made the point until I got sick of making it to never believe anything I or anyone else says on here until you have checked the information source being relied upon.
Do your own research is my catch cry.
Just because someone posts a link and says it supports a proposition read it yourself and see if you agree.
Academics have debated for centuries what different authors meant. It is your money do not take anyone’s word until you have DYOR.
Why I and TSEx are attacked constantly is because we encourage you to do your own research and do not believe anyone until you have independently verified what they are saying.
By doing this you undermine completely the efforts of trolls and manipulators where you are concerned.
That is why HC is constantly attacking the very idea of TSEx even though they never mention Reddit or any of the other places where shareholders anonymously meet to discuss shares. TSEx is a different beast.
My opinion only DYOR
