    ...and if so, perhaps they'll lose their money, and may even already be worried about that. some of those who are pulled in cannot face up to their decision, and cling on to the hope that it will come good.

    personally, i think we shouldnt be too quick to disbelieve contributors to the site. at the same time, we need to be clear with people when it is obvious that an 'Investment' is with Capital Alternatives or their ilk.
