Loner1 asked:


I audited a seminar given by an investment firm in Marina Del Rey. The speaker insisted that oil-drilling partnerships can lead to riches. He spoke of inflation, increasing oil prices, and the devaluation of the dollar. Yet the initial investment is several thousand. Is this worth it?

That’s me … asked:


I am planning to start up a firm…for which many of my friends are ready to give me some money which I’ll invest on my strategy. By the end of the year or after some time they get whatever we first planned of(including 10%,15% profit etc, irrespective of what I make).
Do I need to complete some courses before I start the company. One of my relatives was saying that I need some sort of certification. Can some body guide me to what I need to do now. Please point me to some good websites that provide better understanding of the situation. I searched for some data regarding it but of no use!
