In the investment world, as in just about anywhere else these days, there seems to be so much hype. So much marketing, and frankly, a lot of BS. Celebrities – whether legitimate, self-proclaimed or minted through the internet, become uncontested models of success. Without much consideration, we give credit to people who display financial success and entrepreneurial chops. The ultra-wealthy open their mouths, and we often listen. I can't help but think that we, the consumers, are to blame for a lot of this.
