If its a sales pitch don't read it.
Or read it and realize there is an ulterior motive, albeit perhaps a noble one at that.

And if they are selling financial products or services, are compliant with the securities laws governing sales and advice to the public.

Re: Ag chat rooms are full of con men
On the other site there was a old dude named "seasoned citizen". Well he regaled readers with his days of trading in the pits and the "whiteshoe boys" , some thought he had the inside scoop. He would give calculated advice where he was "right all the time" like a fortune teller at a carnival.
Then one day "To all my fans I am going to leave you all....but I will take 150 of you and give you my advice for the low price of $300...when 150 of you sign up, then I`m gone and I won`t take any more of you". After a couple weeks "well I got 150 of you ...good bye!". Then periodically someone would ask "Those of you signed up with seasoned citizen, how`s that working out??" some would say "disappointed" but some still high on the placebo effect "oh yeah, great best $300 I spent yada yada".
Okay, maybe less than 150 signed up with him or maybe 1,000 did...who knows? Those that said "yeah great, I love his advice!" how do we know that wasn`t his nephew under a different handfle? This is the internet where everybody`s awesome!
But I will say this, farmers are pinched right now and ripe for a pickin`.

Caveat Emptor. Deal only with established firms, get references. Stay away from anyone who's website is a Facebook page.

Re: Ag chat rooms are full of con men
And your point ? I told u I am not a bean trader, so I probably know only a little bit more than you about beans.
Corn is a different story...
