"that a lie repeated often enough is eventually accepted as the truth."

Gottfried, that explains a lot in the financial world!
Most of the sell-side analysts must have studied at
"The Goebbels Institute of Financial Wisdom".

I understand that before being accepted as a candidate for
instruction at the Institute, the supplicant must pledge
never to reveal:

-- the present financial holdings of one's employer
-- the present financial holdings of one's own

I believe the operative formula is:

(Secrecy) + (seeming knowledge AND seeming helpfulness) +
(Ulterior Motive) = POWER

I think if Goebbels were still amongst us, he would be
very pleased to see some of his principles so widely used!

Namaste!

Jim
