 Listened to the show & came away shaking my head at Mark's attempt at humor...... although after the initial Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr....... when you think about it , I guess maybe it deserved a short chuckle. Ok..... here it is .. Faulk & Mineralrus's chatter They were discussing the book, ya know if it went ot the printers , when it would be released.... blah, blah, blah Well Mark makes a "funny" and says "Oh yeah and all the books will be delivered with a check in it.... signed by Robert Maheu."............... Than Mineralus asks " oh and will it have a yellow jacket on it ? (in reference to the DHL truck)...  now they are stand up comedians?? Interesting though that they decided to change the subtitle at the last minute...... a bit misleading.......... oh boy, watch the spins on this . Single

'The Naked Truth: Counterfeiting the American Dream' The combined effect of those words was more like exposing corruption / conspiracy, plenty of which is already published and happening. 'Investing in the Stock Play of a Lifetime' is curiously mysterious / alluring. More suited as an attractive bait for the buying eyes of consumers looking to read beyond what's currently flooding the news and our minds. I think the upgrade is a smart choice because it highlights the innocent victims of an opportunity, rather than opportunists preying on the innocent. But, at the same time it can suggest a series of books, as we live out the challenge of a lifetime commitment to our 'stock play'. Heck, the grim reaper may as well co-author this epic struggle, because the story might end as we expire in the shock of glory or heavy gloom. I suppose we deserve to be introduced more directly by the title. I can't help but wonder about the effect some of those words might have if placed in the selling line of another risky promotion: 'The Naked Truth: Whatever Happened to Peggy Sue?'
If our experience of a lifetime is told and sold without an ending, no amount of filling will substitute for closure - the end to speculation by landing a verdict of certain reality. As such, the floating title book should remain shelved in limbo, without a back cover. Eventually having the preface removed and preserved in granite as our diamond inscribed personal epitaph, to mark the end of a party that never happened.
But, my words cannot an ending make for all or one. So don't drown yourself in the wishing well just yet. This adventure is like a growing skyscraper now over 100 STORIES high. I'm not suggesting anyone jump to more certain and effective conclusions, either.

:'(Wow!!1 You bring a tear to my eye. You have such a way with words. Sounds as tho you should have been helping write this trilogy. AND I do think we are looking at two maybe three more books on this, don't you?  Well, at least a couple more pies... to contain all the flavor and filling, that is. I mean 'pies in the sky' - not [smack] in our faces.  Wide mood swinging in one sentence, leaning to the manic. Further indicated by choosing those complementary emoticons as bookENDS to your comment. Here's something helpful for most any animal with the symptoms: tinyurl.com/2usdwq |

Yeah, but it's another year of what will be remembered as the good old days, before the post traumatic stress kicked in. |

Re: Brain Damage said...« Reply #10 on Jan 8, 2008, 9:51am » Just wondering.... Due to the fact that not one single thing has been finalized (that we are aware of anyhow) , will the "ending" leave us dangling in cyberspace as we have been for the past 4 years? Or will we see a message .... " Sequel coming SOON"? It is hard to fathom ,that this book could have an "ending "with the information we have at this time. Just asking........ Single BrainDamage
VIP MemberYou're right, there's no "surprise ending". But there are many, many additional nails in the coffin, so to speak, to help those "reality challenged" shareholders get a grip. -BD |

Sell sanity in a book, if that's what it takes. Provide certainty and significance, to prove sane whatever it is we are now doing; print the good sense over the nonsense. A free floating coffin doesn't require more nails on the lid, it's missing essential weight and a permanent resting place. Where and when - exactly - is this situation finally going to leave us? The invitation has always been double-sided: funeral or party - which is it? The victims want to know all that's living and has died, in the life of this investment experience.
When it's been dark for years, any ray of light is a sunrise - until we find the crowing rooster has lied again. The ongoing tease to this adventure continues to abuse the abused. Endings are outside the loop of circular thinking... where the dizzy logic spin tale of CMKX now fills a bible and a book of lies. A division of mind, and of heart, poses a constant threat to the survivors with their aging hopes and dreams. As it is, we have barely enough light to see the fog. Under these challenging conditions, getting a grip is groping the ghost.
