brainwashed right, Atlas Shrugged groopies, you guys wouldn't even be able to agree among yourselves how to set taxes, forgein policy, and social programs. You guys aren't as wise as you think you are. Come back in 20 years when you have a little experience. I promise you, you will be smarter then than you are now and when you look back you will realize you weren't as smart in your youth as you think you are.
------------------------------------------------------------
A: I'm not Right of anything. I'm a Capitalist and a Libertarian. I was a Republican, ran the College Republican's at Loyola University in Chicago. I worked for Newt Gingrich and I attended CPAC. However, I slowly woke up.
Experience?
1: I traded for Schofield Securities, failed to make my first million in real earnings but learned a lot from the key players who went on to start asset firms like BAM Asset Managment, etc al.
2: I left Schonfeld as a failed trader ( I did not make 7 figuers) for Morgan Stanley, in the Investment Banking Intern program while Attending the Booth School Of Business at the University of Chicago. I attended the Night Program while Trading for a Small Options Group. I did far better trading LOCKED MARKETS, ARBS.
I left UofC as I found it to be a waste of time for me and I move to Del Ray Beach FL and Traded from my Loft.
C: I started to take far more risk that what the Firm wanted, so I parted ways. I ended up running my Record Label full time for a few years.
3: I was then recruited by a Wealthy Individual who purchased a bunch of land in the Hill Country of Texas, the place is TAPATIO SPRINGS. (Google it). He purchased Tapatio for pennies on the dollar and had a dream of turning the Land Around. Not only did I sit in and learn how to take raw land, improve it and then turn around and sell it at a profit, I learned all I could about Commercial RE and Utility Company rule as Tapatio has it's own water company which was the most valuable asset other than the land. We packaged the RE up and priced it at 65 Million. I negotiated for two years with over 30 potential buyers, never did sell Tapatio. It was appraised at 110 million but even at 65 million nobody wanted to purchase 2000 acres, of a Golf Resort/High End Community. I decided to purse other interest in 06.
4: I started with a Small Private Equity Group that raised money for Oil deals. DPPs in Oil and Gas Ventures. It is here where the light came on and the money flowed in faster than I could Imagine. It is with this Game that my 7 figures was matched and beyond.
5: Now, I own my own company, me and a partner...LLC. I now put deals together for GLOBAL projects. I spend hours on the phone day and night calling around the world. From Indonesia, to China, Vietnam, EU, AEU etc.
So, what is your experience BigArrow? What tells you that there are "GREY" areas?
In fact most of the time there are NO GREY AREAS. If I were to think like you, I would have been in Jail years ago with the amount of Money I raise and the projects I fund.
2+2=4 Where is the Gray Area in this Equation?
Of course I know there are exceptions to the rules. But I do not subscribe to the Parasite's Philosophy of "GREY AREAS as a Norm.
It is easier to believe in Grey Area's my friend than in solid Principles as a foundation.
