so while it sounds like a scam, no one is actually getting rich off it....
No blue chip stock is going to give a 1,000% return in 10 years.

Last year Pfizer profited $40 billion, in perspective the largest oil company Exxon profited $36 billion. Yea, no one is getting rich. Pity the poor pharmaceutical companies.
