    About this ebook

    Have you ever wondered what separates the mega-rich from the rest of us? The secret often boils down to a willingness to take risks - huge risks - that most normal investors wouldn't dare go near. "Flirting With Financial Oblivion" takes you inside the adrenaline-fueled world of the true high rollers who think nothing of betting massive amounts on insanely risky ventures that could just as easily bankrupt them.

    This book reveals the darkest corners and most perilous peaks of the financial world that only the bravest and most foolhardy adventurers explore. We delve into exotic investments like uncovered options, bitcoin arbitrage, and unregulated ICOs that many didn't even know existed. Tales from first-hand survivors provide chilling lessons on how seemingly small mistakes can lead to complete financial annihilation when dancing with high-stakes danger.

    While not recommending these investments for the faint of heart, "Flirting With Financial Oblivion" pulls back the curtain on exactly how the 1% gamble for glory and profits. Perhaps a small taste of these forbidden fruits can enhance your own portfolio if approached with ample caution. But are you really ready to flirt with potential oblivion? This book may just convince you to stick to safer harbors and leave the thrill-seeking to the Richard Bransons of the world. If you're looking for excitement and intrigue from the financial world's equivalent to storm chasing, this is a must-read peek behind the curtain. All aboard for the wildest ride of your life!
