It’s days like this that I can’t help but walk around the house smiling from ear to ear. Why? You may ask. Well, it just so happens that I recently cashed out over $100,000 in investments to use for an alternative investment. Let me explain.
A couple weeks ago I got an email from a nice man in Nigeria. He found himself in quite a pickle. He recently discovered that he is the sole heir to a massive inheritance from an uncle he barely knew. Due to the unstable economy in Nigeria he isn’t able to take delivery of the funds. That’s where I come in. Since I’m in the U.S., I’m considered a suitable entity to receive the funds. I know what you are thinking though. What kind of a moron sends $$ millions of dollars to a guy in the U.S. that he hasn’t even met. I was thinking the same thing. Just when I thought it was probably hopeless, my friend in Nigeria had a plan. I could build his trust by sending some money to him before he sends all the other money to me. He has to send me the money anyway, so just adding my funds back in, along with his, would be no sweat.
So, a couple of weeks ago, I liquidated my investment accounts and sent the money electronically to my friend in Nigeria. You can see why I’m smiling. The market has it’s biggest one day loss EVER, and I’m just sitting here smugly waiting for the big payoff from Nigeria.
At this point, I’d say my great choice puts me at about the same risk as not having sold my investments in the first place!
Darn. Am I the only guy that hasn’t had the opportunity to help out a Nigerian with $$ millions to move? Unlucky, I guess.
Like you, I’d be glad to help out.
Don’t worry…the money will arrive in your account any day now.
You and I are both smart and lucky. If I didn’t have my Ghanian fiance to rely on, I’d have left all my money in my 401k, and where would I be now!?!?
MadameX,
I’d say it’s more than luck. Positive thinking can help attract these opportunities.
How is your fiance?
