Did you miss the billionaire crying?

 


I thought we left the mess behind in 2020.

 

But 2021 is shaping up to be crazy.

 

A different kind of crazy, but membrane insane, none the less.

 

I saw a post where a billionaire was on the verge of tears in a tizzy about “normal” people costing him money.

 

His hedge fund shorted a stock, and normal people decided to run up the price.

 

It ended up costing him billions.

 

He said it was an attack on the wealthy.

 

He said normal people were manipulating the market for profit.

 

This same guy was “fined” half a million dollars by the SEC a few years ago for insider trading.

 

His lawyers pleaded it down because he was supposed to go t jail.

 

Remember that thing Martha Stewart did and got a few years in orange?

 

He did that, but bigger.

 

Hypocrite.

 

He’s one of a hundred hedge fund guys that do it, and get away with it, because they donate to Congress, and the SEC.

 

Corruption is insane.

 

I’m watching it unfold in AR right now.

 

But as the adage goes, it’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove.

 

And apparently, electronic records and emails of stock trades aren’t proof enough to convict when you own the judge, and in AR, taped conversations can get tossed if you pay the Guv’ner enough.

 

Sigh.

 

As it ever was.

 

I told someone once I would write it down as fiction, but no one would believe me.

 

But I did anyway.  Part of a work in progress type of deal.

 

My insane 2021 is ramping up, which is fun and terrifying.

 

Consider this.  2021 is 10% done.

 

Read that again.

 

Whatever you wanted to add to your to do list this year, whatever big giant scary goals you set for yourself, you only have 90% of the days in the year to get going on it.

 

New books. New audiobooks. A Youtube channel. And a bunch of cool projects.

 

Including something I think will be fun.  Giveaways.

 

That’s right, starting on Feb 1, I’m doing giveaways on a Youtube Channel.

 

I’ll send you a link next week.

 

What am I giving away?

 

Paperbacks. Stuff from my office. I’m even thinking about giving away a used car.

 

It all depends on how much traction I get.

 

Hell, I may give away stock tips too.  We can start a thread, buy shares on Robinhood and fight the RICH ASSHOLE DUDES at their own game.

 

Anyone else want to make a million dollars before we get banned from trading stocks forever?!?

 

Cheers,

 

Chris

 

PS. If you see a billionaire crying, do not approach. They will take your wallet, your home, kick your dog and not feel a shred of remorse about it.
