Got one, maybe the second one was not instant approval? 🙂 Yes, thank you.

Hope you get both CSR credits. And hope they are at least $100

Yeah I understand 🙂

Amazing how the Chase bank manager changed her demeanor towards me when I told her I am interested in Private Client and am willing to bring my fat Roth IRA in it and then how her face, along with the advisor, dropped when I say I want to keep my Vanguard ETFs and manage it all myself because this is what I do for a living 🙂
The proprietary products and “research” just did not do the trick for me lol.

They are just…twisted, they look cool!

Long long ago in another era (aka the GoGO ’80s), I had a small community bank as a client. Think they had 3 branches, mostly served small businesses, maybe a small retail footprint. One day the founder’s wife calls me and wants to know if I will come over and “chit-chat” about some travel they want to do.

Nice house on Back Bay (Newport Beach, CA). Wonderful views, nice cocktails and pupus. Bob had decided to close the bank – not sell the bank – close the bank and they wanted to spend “a couple of years” traveling. Bob was “an older guy” — at least to an upstart like me in those days (maybe 50 he was?), very mild mannered. Out of curiosity, I asked:

“Bob, why are you closing the bank instead of cashing out or selling to a bigger bank”?

His reply has stuck to me like glue:

“The banking industry is full of ********** ********** ******* and ******* and I don’t want my good name ever associated with such swine. If you roll around with swine you are going to get covered in pig **** and smell like pig ****. **** them all the ********** ******** ********”!”

True then, true now…

What’s with twisty towers? I don’t get “it”?

I don’t go there anymore….I get his one digest email per day, scan it, barf and move on. I also see some tweets that I use for shooting practice. What is amazing he and Gary just keep cranking them out, amazing work ethic. Every day they out post all of Savrocity, First2Board and Hackr combined 🙂

Read the link above…

Thanks amigo, much appreciated. Sure helps, 41 cents yesterday ain’t cutting it. Combined with $1.08 the day before and does not even pay for my coffee at Panera. Small 🙂

Yeah, unbelievable, what a machine…

“seriously – oyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.”

I am not moving there then!

By product of blogging that keeps me at it: learning from readers!

Thanks.

And yet again…the media keeps crawling to him…

WTF 🙂
