Before you start griping, yes it's subscriber only, no I've not read the whole thing, maybe some other outlet will follow up with accessible details.

But there's enough to go on for now.

Wait, he wasn't on the inside of Pedo47's market manipulation schemes?

I would not be too quick to follow the investment advice of someone going broke.

Might as well follow MikePillow for financial tips.

I thought this OP was about Irwin Shaw's 1969 novel Rich Man, Poor Man.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch the dem party is in debt, because:

Have you noticed now that President Trump shut down USAID and its self-confessed left-wing slush fund the shadow government can no longer fund leftist violence

I'd love for, just once, an honest book be written that describes the real process - write a bunch of nonsense and false promises that sounds good to people who don't really know enough to see through the BS just so that you, the author, can get rich quick.

Throw in a chapter about lack of scruples, the poor money handling you've generally had as you jumped from scheme to scheme...

Oh hell, I should hang out a shingle and give financial and legal advice. I am not a billion dollars in debt, and have no real idea how the markets work, other than to be absolutely certain the game is rigged, no matter what game, by this time the super rich have it all under their control to fleece the poor and the powerless.
These days I often hear the songs of the "Music Man" rambling around in my head as I see the corruption spread. The "hero" was a con man who sold lies and musical instruments...
