Ask Three Questions

 

Of course the real value would be in seeing something others couldn't see at all, so you can bet on it. Hence Question Two: What can you fathom others find unfathomable?

My book takes you through a learnable methodology for fathoming the unfathomable, which is a pretty unfathomable concept to most folks. So, for example, I take you through how I stumbled through with the methodology to learn and prove that America is not only not over-indebted but actually and drastically under-indebted and needs about three times the debt we currently have -- even if the borrowers are as stupid as the heroin-addicted Apple Ipod borrower I use as a fictional example. Or even the government. Pretty unfathomable, hey? Read the book and you'll believe.

Finally, all my life I've known I'm my own worst enemy, particularly in investing. So, I wanted to be able to share lessons I learned to help me overcome my mental self-sabotaging. Hence Question Three: What the heck is my brain doing to blindside me now?

This is largely about how our stone age, old information processors are hard wired in ways inconsistent with seeing and feeling modern financial realities. I figured if I could learn to make my brain less my enemy, I could help you to, too.
