    Hello from your favorite Pessimistic Investor

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Back to naked short selling ban, the SEC / Feds allow this to expire a couple weeks ago then just brought it back. Really need to go back to the uptick rule AND go after the big players that could NOT prove they had the borrowed stocks just for short sales. A LOT of big players really did not...

    Hosting a Seminar

    Good point about going through the gatekeepers ("middle men"). Lot of top sales pros use various methods to make sure the message reaches the right person! Personal and confidential snail mail, overnight FedEx, unusual containers of mystery are some of the ways. In the future find some sales...

    Hosting a Seminar

    Been there before - sometimes they are a bust, sometimes packed. What you need to do is get the word out 2 months before, one month before, one week before (last min. warning). Personal mailings 1 - 2 months out, followed by oversize blazing yellow rod postcard one week before. E mail / fax...

    $3,000 to $1,000,000 in 15 months: HOW TO DO IT

    IDEA 
    When it comes to E Bays Sydney Johnston is the queen. She does a number of e bay methods besides direct sales, her goal is to capture names and build a client list for the back end. Ultimately she gets her list off E Bay for direct / affiliate sales. E Bay is the greatest internet portal for...

    Why I Left RD Forums

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Russ H - I agree with most of your points - but often find people in the crowd doing deals often bigger then the seminar speaker. In one case I JV (joint venture) with another guy to give a new seminar to his group which in turn it grew into 3 new businesses spin offs over several years...

    Why I Left RD Forums

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My one seminar with RK was many years ago thru Learning Annex - 500 people jam in a room for a couple of hours listening to every word. Only thing I remember now was his jokes about being gay and going to jail. Not sure if he was trying to shock us or just his sense of humor. Don't shoot the...

    How much info should I divulge?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Use pseudo names / examples on public forums, etc until you are up and running, trademarked, patented, copywrite, etc. NDA are worthles unless you have deep pockets to hire the sharks to enforce. Poor Man's version is mailing yourself ideas via US mail and leaving unopen postmark for proof...

    Best way to promote a new site

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    PR Web also does the same, they will help you write the press release as well. Different packages, the $80 one is considered the best bang for the buck. They also sell "how to" press release book as well. You can also get people from form groups at Facebook as well. Put your site in DMOZ...

    Do it yourself traffic generation?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I done this on a small scale. You write 2 articles on one subject - one to article site, other to your site. Article gets posted driving traffic to your site for ad sense / affiliate programs. Look at article sites and follow the links, not to tough. One guy is a machine does one / day over 2...

    Cashflow 101 - Game strategies

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My favorite is I will give you this card if you take the boat, swimming pool, vacation retreat card, etc. along with it. My son at age 12 is getting good at the game, he manage in 202 to hit 2 mill in the stock cards (without massive leverage!). We play to win by either 3x passive or 2 million...

    First meeting with a RE investor

    REAL ESTATE 
    Like that end of year ideas - We have a big out of state RE deal slowly coming to an end. A 6 month deal that went sideways tied up in court and now finally working out 2 1/2 years later. We are the bank in this deal; similar to being stuck in the back seat of a New York cab ride from hell...

    less headache, less money what do you think?

    As a owner in the past of large and small businesses everybody's concern is correct! Large work force has to be train via fast food chain method - one person cooks, another to take orders, another to wrap & bag, etc. Dumb down system! Worker quits / fired / leaves no big deal, another can...

    Developing Discipline and Overcoming Obstacles

    HOT! 
    I and my wife both lost our dads at age 8 - we wonder how life would be different if they live. Will never know, that how life is. Getting control of your own life is hard and ongoing, most people never even think of it. The most successful people I know are like robots in getting things done...

    Hello from your favorite Pessimistic Investor

    INVESTING HOT! 
    German cars.... Just said good bye to 2 Mercedes, lease thru our company. To buy out the leases ($48k & $25K) too much money compared to buying a Honda fit used ($14.5k) and 2 year old Chevy Malibu ($10k). Mercedes tried so hard to put us into another lease... Repo guy I know is so busy...
