A Lesson In Humility

A broker took all his clients and told half of them to buy and half to sell.

50% won big and 50% lost and left him.

The broker took the 50% that won and told half of them to buy and half to sell.

50% won big and 50% lost and left him.

Now the broker only had 1/16 of his clients, but they would do whatever he said ... they would sell all their gold, sell all their real estate investments, mortgage their houses, empty their bank accounts, max out their credit cards, etc ... whatever he said.

Which only goes to prove that you only need to have an overall track record of 1/16 to have a dedicated following.

Gonna have to get rubber boots and a shovel if I keep hanging out here.

(off topic) My short reply to Hutch, and no more exchanges to follow.

<<There's no emotions involved here. No fears, no worries.>>

You have the ability to understand the contents of the landscape and
respond so that you are in control, safe from attack.

But if the contents of the landscape that you accept is based on a
foundation of lies and deceit, then how quick you are able to react
will determine your outcome. My guess is that you will be one of the
few that will have the ability to cross over to another path, if down the
road a GATA conspiracy theory comes to be.

To me your correct calling is the military where you would become, at a
young age, a four star general.

But in this GATA war zone, I feel that you are on the wrong side.
