NEWS FLASH! MICHAEL REESE CLAIM HE WAS "FEATURED IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL" DEBUNKED! HERE'S THE REST OF THE STORY...

Michael Reese is at it again--inflating his credentials and misleading the masses!


Our favorite Traverse City area money guy, self-proclaimed 'America's Retirement Expert' Michael Reese has doggone gone and done it...again!

Yes, our boy puffed himself up like a financial Fugu fish with this addition to the "Latest News" feed on his website. Reese claims he was recently "featured in the Wall Street Journal" in recognition of his latest best-selling book. Featured--in an article, maybe?

But Miss Fortune is spoiling the fun--read it for yourself!

Wow, that's impressive...and completely misleading, even for a press release so fulsome it reads like it was written by Sidney Falco, the press agent played brilliantly by Tony Curtis in the film "Sweet Smell of Success". 

This smells like something, and it ain't teen spirit!

Here's the official Dow Jones & Company e-tear sheet--of the "feature"--an ad, really--that ran in the May 13th edition of the Wall Street Journal on Page C7. 





It's a little blurry in the photo above, but you can check out the original PDF at this link:

And while the ad--excuse me, "feature"--is ostensibly about a stable of "best-selling authors", they'll be kicking down their collective stall doors when they see how they're being used as shills for their "branding company".

The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors, is a sweet little sideline hustle run by Dicks & Nanton, the "celebrity branding agency" used by--you guessed it--all of these authors!

And if you Google any one of these "top-selling authors", you'll likely find the same press release that Reese is using.

The next time Michael Reese has a "free seminar", watch him closely to see if he sells you the steak...or just the brand sizzle.
