A popular insurance product of the 1980s and 1990s has come back to bite many older Americans.Universal life was a sensation when it premiered, and for some years it worked as advertised.

If you can find that example, let me know, it should be a rare miss from our team, not the theme.I fully understand that the sentiment of alignment with sensational gurus is embedded in some folks minds and will take time to unwind, but there should be zero recent examples to point to.

Ok - i'll admit, the subject line of this post is a bit sensational.  

There has been an irresponsible fad on real estate sites like BP for at least the last 5 years.Single family homes were now for suckers and everyone and their grandma has been attending syndication boot camps and coming here to write sensational posts and “success stories” on BP.You are about to find out who is an investor and who is a scam artiste.But don’t worry,the actual investors will be here to hold your hands and offer Kleenex through all the tears and blood.We all learn in this journey of life.No need for gotchas and “I told you so”...just life lessons we all learn at some stage.I wish you as little pain as possible over the rest of the year,brothers and sisters!

aThey publish sensational and misleading headlines and stories.They are less believable than Fox News which settle for nearly $1b for knowingly pushing false news.

Any time any dog that might possibly be part “pit bull” bites someone, it gets national headlines, because it’s sensational, but they’re much less aggressive than most breeds, despite the fact that some people are getting them for bad reasons.

@Jason Allen - Cant comment on that , but do feel, like all things in life, sometimes the loud and sensational voices get immediate attention - and thats ok .

I thought this response was sensational!
