I think I'm an official reject. I'll try to come up with another scam, but I'm running out of ideas.
This reminds me of the man who came to Jesus on his own terms but soon found Jesus' terms were not what he had in mind. Matthew 19
"And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"
Jesus responded by saying, "Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
He saith unto him, "Which?" Jesus said, "Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
The young man saith unto him, "All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?"
Jesus said unto him, "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Just some food for thought. :)

I'm definitely lacking in the great possessions category. :>)
This is all about OP, who is an independently wealthy business owner selling vast quantities of mutual funds. LOL!
