A curious advertisement has been running frequently on The Patriot (AM 1280) in recent weeks. It's for a company called Northlanders Trading and the product they're pimping is the Iraqi Dinar.
I can't remember the exact pitch, but it hamfistedly plays on Patriot listeners' presumed right wing, pro-invasion sympathies. The gist of the argument is that by investing in the Iraqi Dinar you'll be fulfilling your patriotic duties, insuring a second term for Team W., and getting fabulously rich.
The company's web site provides zero business data about Northlands Trading, and a quick Nexis search covering two years of newspaper articles yields not one tidbit of information.
I know it's not really my place, but a bit of financial advice for you patriotic Patriot listeners: This might not be the wisest investment.
