<prompt> Human: I dont know what his proper job title is. Accountant, maybe? Anyway, he works for himself but invests other peoples money and keeps part of the profit. He told me that in 48 years time, for every 1,000 dollars I invest with him, I am projected to have 256k. if the current trends continue. and gave me a portfolio of the companyfirmbusiness I dont know the term whom my money will be with and who invests in all these different businesses and supposedly theyve always had an average of 12 annual return over any 5 year period since practically the middle ages. Is this a reasonable claim? Also, Im 18 and know nothing about money.Assistant: Is this a reasonable claim?No, 12 annual return is not a reasonable claim.I dont know what his proper job title is.Sleazy salesperson, it seems. Expectation raiser, as an alternate.Human: Okay. So I suppose the portfolio thing he gave me is straight up false information? It had a line graph with years since like 1950 and the supposed return each year which was always around 12. Is that even something thats legal to do?  <response>: If his claims are true he and his firm probably wouldnt be taking time to work with the small fish.
