Hi, Bob.

BM> Anyone see the little expose in Business Sunday (Channel 9) re the

This sounds like the one a client (I'm a stockbroker) called me about a
week or so ago. He'd seen an ad and spoken to the Gold Coast people.
Wanted to know if it was a good thing. So I phoned them and got them to
send me the brochure. The content was pretty much as you describe in
the bit I chomped.

But here's the interesting thing. Some months earlier I had received
another highly glossy promotion for a system. Very similar well-produced
good quality paper, same restriction on "only 400 people in each state",
same Stat. Dec. in the front that you won't give the results to anyone
else, similar investment history diagram and specific results over a
period. Almost the same phone and fax numbers.

And it was for a horse-racing system!

Regards, FIM.
