Harry hit the nail on the head.

If it is so good then why are they telling others about it?
Keep it to yourself and pour as much in as you can whilst it lasts.

But some can't be told even the bleeding obvious, when it is laid out right in front of their noses on a silver plate with all the garnishing, that this a steaming pile of 'don't go there!'

A FD colleague told me he got into Exential early, skimmed a lazy US$160,000 and rolled the rest back in to it, as he could afford to lose his original $60k 'investment'.
He encouraged his friends into it which they did. He was telling me it was legit, as it was no different to high risk-high return investments, and he should know, his father was a banker. (?!).

Other FD amigos who invested in F1 and lost everything, to only go straight back to the one who took their money, to hand over yet more cash, to learn how to invest in Forex.

Speaking of Forex and learning. I have close friends who handed over quite a bit of money to "learn" Debenture/Forex/Futures trading.
Good luck to them l thought. However l did think out loud and said if it's so good, why are these 'teachers' not making a load of money by keeping their wisdom to themselves?
To this day it was money down the drain.

There is more than one way to skin a cat.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
