BUY THE BOOK         

Friday, June 14, 2002

We have gotten a fair amount of e-mail on Wednesday's entry, some from the SEC (and a subpoena, actually), but mostly from some poor, confused souls. Apparently these people have some issue with our patent pending New New Economy investment strategy.

For instance, Mike D. from Houston writes: "Do you morons realize that your investment advice is bogus? Your allocation adds up to 108%...thats makes no sense."

Yes, Mike... it does make sense. See if Mike D., had read our book, he would know that the whole "100%" limit is an Old Economy concept. The truth is, in the New New Economy, you can have as many percentage as you want.

Successful people (like us, Larry Ellison, and Denzel Washington) know this. Thats why we are the richest men in town (as you will be, reader, if you buy our book.)

If your investment manager tries to tell you that you can only have 100%, don't walk: run from him.

Sad to say this, but we don't think Mike D. will ever be the richest man in Houston.

IMClone Inc. Arrest

The fact that the IMClone CEO refuses to talk to the Press raises some very interesting questions which in turn, leads to some interesting thoughts:

We accept the fact that a sad few of the CEO's of Cloning Corporations are evil, but we also realize that the vast majority of cloning company CEO's are moral, hard working citizens who just want to do the right thing day-in and day-out and never run afoul of the law.(Well, except for creating mutant babies in their ultimate quixotic quest for immortality and vast riches.)

Ever notice how the Amish never have these problems? Our guess is that while we have been laughing at them, they are the ones having the last laugh on us.

Are the Authorities sure they have the right guy? If you could send your clone to prison instead of you, would you even think about it for a second? No wonder this guy is clamming up: his lawyer is saying: "Clam up clone...thats your job!" And how obvious is all this, eh? Think it through: IMClone, Inc.... I M Clone Inc.,...I am Clone, Inc... I AM Clone!.

You want an allegory? The Twilight Zone, "To Serve Man"...Rod Serling knew....does the SEC?

If they make a clone of Nicole Kidman, we wouldn't complain about THAT!
