For a long time, a very wealthy friend of mine who is an extremely good money manager had been sharing his IRA portfolio, and every buy or sell action he took, with anyone who asked to be added to his email list. He is the kind of guy the EMH (efficient markets hypothesis) assures us cannot exist, who pretty consistently and very impressively beat the market. His lifetime return on the account is in excess of 40% annually, and that includes the years of the recent financial crisis.
So if you wanted to invest exactly the same way he was, you could easily do so.
Not anymore. Now the government has chosen to protect us from people like him. From his email to friends:
This list began many years ago and grew out of my desire to help others who are friends but are not professional investors. The list started as…
Since you probably won’t hear about this anywhere else, there was actually a case going on in Georgia in which Obama’s citizenship was being contested. Obama actually had a lawyer and everything. He was even subpoenaed. Guess what happened when he skipped court?
[…] From Reuters: “Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the United States, the FBI warned on Monday. These extremists, sometimes known as “sovereign citizens,” believe they can live outside any type of government authority, FBI agents said at a news conference.” And the most epic line ever written: “The extremists may refuse to pay taxes, defy government environmental regulations and believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard.” […]
Re: obama eligibility. I can’t believe they used the already proven fraudulent birth certificate as evidence. Maybe someone just took a picture of it. It was found on the whitehouse website. Only to be proven as fake within the hour.
And it sounds to me like you didn’t read the court proceedings. It was entered into evidence so that the prosecution could have an expert say it was fake. Obama’s attorney didn’t even show up. Read the articles again.
This is an interesting theory. It would certainly make sense. Obviously Romney has been smart enough from day 1 to at least understand it wouldn’t be smart to go after Paul, if not actually realize he would need Paul’s supporters to win a general election (or possibly even a nomination). Paul has mentioned how his wife and Romney’s wife have become friendly. There has even been speculation and conspiracy theories that Paul and Romney are possibly working together, or at least prepping to make deals.
I’m wondering if some of those theories aren’t so far off…at least as far as Romney is concerned. I wouldn’t be surprised if something like this was in the back of his mind all along as a possible necessity.
The only question from here is…will Ron Paul go for it?
