p.s. scrounging up dollars for second fund? http://www.fgmrecords.com/FGM%20Records/graphics/TIMMAY.JPG Ok sorry, that was bad. Really I go now

No worries. Carry on

There is no you guys. I just showed up on ET after a very long absence -- check my post history -- and shall be leaving this thread forthwith. Although re your lack of sight... memory is still fresh in my mind of legendary obtuseness (obtusity?) in matters long since buried. (Legendary I...

Maybe I'm just loco then. I've no beef with 'Timmay' nor even know who he is. This is the first time I've visited ET in months. Clicked on the thread randomly, attracted by the phrase 'hedge fund book.' Clicked on the guy's website. Immediate response: That cover looks lifted from a book I...

Eh? Compare these book covers American __ #1: http://www.timothysykes.com/id16.html American __ #2: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/031615928X/ref=sib_dp_pt/103-6500717-6122237#reader-link Intentional? Am I missing something?

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing...

I already said goodbye and unsubscribed to this thread... but this was so great I had to share it. So, once again - bye!

There was actually some pretty good discussion for a while there... helped by the fact that no Elvises or Napoleons were involved. Then you came along, and started pouring syrup over everything. Ah well. I suppose it is the fate of most (if not all) long-lived ET threads to end this way. The...

If the whole cult leader thing doesn't work out, at least you'll be good for a job teaching rhetoric at some community college. I won't give you the satisfaction of pretending we are two gurus sparring. I, for one, never claimed to be a guru, and you are a schmuck on a message board with...

No need for a comma...

Blessings and mercy, you are so kind. The truth is more powerful, and true freedom more freeing, than all your embellishments can express. But your fatuous adornments are not required. As Samuel Johnson reputedly said: "Your [posts are] both good and original. But the part that is...

Okay, I'll concede that possibility. I know a little about Buffett, but I'm definitely no Buffetologist. Just to point out though: Kirk Kerkorian funded his first business with poker winnings... yet he is hardly known for being a poker player. If someone asked how Kerkorian became a...

No. He certainly didn't make his first $100 million that way. The first fortune was all about scooping up mispriced assets and fixing broken companies. Buying the kind of stocks that are so offbeat and illiquid you practically have to trade them by appointment. Hiring workout guys to go ream...

Disagree. I think he's bored, or ambitious, or both, but not all that crazy. I'm hard on him because it annoys me to see useful truth distorted by hokum. Like taking a nice piece of prime rib and slathering it with hershey's chocolate sauce. Nor is it necessarily true that "faith and...

Now I'm confused...

I get it... Johnny K is on the L. Ron Hubbard road to riches program. "If you want to get rich, you start a religion." You've got some real leadership potential there buddy. Jim Jones straight up. That thar patter o' yourn is slicker n' owl shit. And what a great place to practice your...

Umm, yeah ok. When he brings peace in the middle east and forms a world government let me know...

Yeah, but all he's doing is bogarting Buddha... taking 2,500 year old truths and dressing them up in funny clothes. As Vanilla Ice so amply demonstrated, it doesn't take genius to bite someone else's rhymes...

Hey I Am, you've got some competition -- unless this is you: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16840066/site/newsweek

The universe is brimming with duality. Light as wave and particle... meaning as emergent property... consciousness as strange loop... the self-referential nature of subjective experience... the folly of taking life too seriously vs the serious business of letting go... Man's willingness to...
