Jack Recider

He said, listen, the next one is the craziest one I've ever seen. There's this company whose stock price is going to explode. But the best part is they're in the initial investor round. So you can get in on the ground floor if you want. How much do you want to invest? Ten grand? You've slept on three of these. You're not going to want to miss another, right?

But this fascinated me. Who was this guy that was always getting the stocks right? What was his algorithm? So I looked into it. I met with a stockbroker and I asked him, how is this possible? And he's like, oh, that guy was a scammer. And I'm like, duh, I know. But how did he get the stocks right every time? And this guy broke it down for me.

He said, okay, that guy called up a whole bunch of people on week one, told half of them the stock was going to go up, told the other half the stock was going to go down. Then he called back the people who he was right with. And he told half of them about another stock that would go up. And the other half, he would say that stock's going to go down.

Then he called back the people who he was right with. And he told half of them about another stock that would go up. And the other half, he would say that stock's going to go down.

And then he did it a third time, calling back the people he was right two times with, telling half of them that the stock is going to go up and the other half saying it's going to go down. So by the time he did that three times, he had this small pool of people who he was right with every time. But really, he was just playing a math game with his victims.

And I think this is such a long but brilliant scam. Seemingly, this guy was golden, perfect, getting it right every time. But what I didn't know is that he was getting his predictions wrong all over town. And I was just one of the unlucky few that saw him get it right every time.
