It can be pretty hard to distinguish between a sales pitch and reality these days. You need to remember though, that ALL investment products are marketed primarily as a means to enrich the seller -- Not you and your retirement nest-egg. You earn returns based on risk, and the less visibility you have into what's going on, the less you can do to protect yourself from those risks.
If you've got a way that you can invest in yourself and create something of lasting value, where you have insight and control over its operation, I think you'll do much better than to blindly give your money to a bunch of million-dollar bonus bankers who earn their spread no matter if you win or lose.
They spend an awful lot on advertising to make you think otherwise.
