Are People Really This Dense? Don’t Answer That!
I have to share something with you that made me laugh. It’s an email I received from a visitor to this site.
“finally figured out this is a ‘come on’ to sell books. I don’t need a scam like Madof.”
This was written in a large font, clearly meant to impress upon me the sentiment behind the note. I have absolutely no idea how this person got to the site or to what they were reacting to specifically which triggered this response. It’s certainly something entirely new. And here I thought I’d seen just about everything. 
The funniest part is that their email probably had the exact opposite effect of whatever it was they were looking for as a response. All it did was make me wonder at the shear absurdity of what’s going on in this individual’s head.
Someone visits a website published by the author of a book, which has the same title as the title of the book and images of that book in the site header and references to it throughout, and don’t think that maybe said author wouldn’t mind seeing people buy his book? Seriously?
As for the Madoff thing, well that’s just so far off the topic of this site and the work I do as to not event warrant a response.

It was probably the response of someone who got slaughtered in the market and he’s just telling you that he’s not interested in learning anything. He must believe that no one can succeed in the markets – without scamming others.
Sad for him

This is the kind of person that finds themselves skeptical of almost everything they see but they would buy a book for $24.95, called “How To Avoid Another Madoff Scam.”
Certainly this person thinks him or herself “wise” but…

Lol, that’s classic. I am finding that as the markets become more irrational (or the world?) people are like surfers on the waves of this irrationality. They are trapped in the context of it and do not have the tools to analyze it, because they are a product of it. It’s like they are scratching away inside a bubble, and all the apparent answers are in the bubble, but the ones they need are outside of it.
