Eh, 105 IQ marketing message. A transparent and pathetic attempt at engaging parents' FOMO that absolutely works especially with shit like this.

Or similarly the calls I would sometimes get from a guy selling me pre-IPO investments. Never found out how he got my number. He worked for a company who acquired the shares and then re-sold them to a lucky select few. These were can't miss prospects. I would always ask them why not just keep the shares and sell them post-IPO as you're telling me to. He had some hand wavy answer about how that's not their business model, they just acquire and re-sell. But the business model never made sense. The sales style was very aggressive though. He preferred that the conversation remain one-sided and had to pretend pretty hard to pay attention to my questions. East coast guy with the accent and everything. Like the movie Boiler Room.
Education is extremely important.

What I find interesting is that a lot of overseas folks in traditionally non-english speaking countries are actually eating this shit up as they acquire such jobs. It's like the seminar courses of the 50's like P.T. Barnum's Timeless Sales Tips are finally reaching there.
