Easy money is a seductive concept….

There is no such thing as easy money. Deep down, we all know this to be true….

We know that acquiring wealth is generally a result of sacrifice, dedication and hard work.

We know that we cannot simply reach out and effortlessly pluck wealth from the ether as though it were a plum hanging from the lowest branch of a tree.

But the idea of easy money is seductive. It always has been. It remains so – despite the lessons of history. And some people are more susceptible to the charms of the idea than others….

The lazy man who doesn’t want to work for it; the foolish man intent on believing whatever nonsense fits best alongside his desires; the greedy man who wants it all yesterday; and the desperate man who needs an immediate solution to his predicament….

A hurricane out of the blue….

Everything they saw convinced them the weather was set fair. Everything confirmed what they already knew – what their years of experience out in the field had taught them….

Hilary Rodham Clinton would be elected the 45th President of the United States of America. The victory editorials had already been written. Some of them had already been aired and published. It was hardly worth counting the votes….

Had just one them looked up from his laptop screen and taken a look out of the window onto the real world, he might have noticed clouds forming in the skies overhead.

Had just one of them gone to the trouble of recalibrating his equipment, he might have noticed the drop in atmospheric pressure.… Click here to read more
