I'm gong to say this now.... If any half ass guru reading this so much as TOUCHES Lonesome Dove, you're going to be swinging from a tree.

Who are the Magnificent 8?

In no particular order:

Joshua Dworkin, Will Bernard, Jon Holdman, Rich Weese, Mike Rossi, Harrison Painter, Jeff Tumbarello and J Scott.

:lol:

Hey Ralph - Who is this Joshua Dworkin guy?

BTW - Is it just me or are all of the gurus now making fun of gurus in marketing themselves? This is like the 3rd promo I've seen in weeks where a self-anointed guru bashes "gurus" in general to promote their "non-guru" system/class/course/website/coffee cup, etc.

Josh,

They live off sales that are put on credit cards. How many Lemmings have 20K in available mastercard balance to buy their "product". Very few. Price points have to come way down.

This type of mentality and business model were/are the products of a mania. In the absence of one, they wither and die.

Plus factor in they can not define the word sustainable much alone live it. These guys are all toast. Dont worry, a new batch will take their place.......

Money's gotta BE somewhere, it's leaving the major indices for parts unknown. Report this week says hedge funds are dropping volume and losing customers in droves. This report was in UK, but likely global - history will tell us if Mr. Repeat lives on or has somehow recently died of wounds.

Buffett has moved to bonds, but Mr. Buffett often "projects" where he's already packed to leave - it works well for him because folks actually think he's giving them advice to help THEM. He doesn't do that, nor do most who torch their path from cradle to grave. He's fun to watch, but every follower of his "advice" ends up dying of "Stock Market Smoke Inhalation" or directly from the flames of yet-another surprise.

I don't know where the money's going, but I know several launch points for its trip to wherever it has gone.

I think much of it has gone where vapor goes when it disappears.

DEFLATION - it's how this goes every time.

I'm happy to be in that grouping. I've sat with Jeff, and I'm not sure who has more yul brynner look...... Rich

I probably don't deserve to be on that list, Ralph, but thanks much for the very kind sentiments...

As Will so eloquently said, I'll try to live up to it!

I wasn't offended . . . :wink:
