you are now arguing for the sake of hearing yourself heard.

Then...

or are you an exceptional linguistic dancer in your own mind...?

A touch of the pot calling the kettle black.

Name one described principal or associate broker that matches the terms I put forth.

Since you pressed me for a name, there's a guy named Karachi or Kirally or something similar who's now in either North or South Carolina (I don't remember which, after searching for him a year or so ago). He has a PhD. from A&M in finance, is a CFP, and now runs a financial planning and money management firm. I had him as a prof for an undergraduate class at A&M, and his wardrobe consisted of a faded polo type golf shirt, untucked, with shorts, and often boat shoes. Well, one shoe for most of the course, as he broke his foot playing softball. One day, he said he had to leave class early because he was meeting a client. I asked him what he wore to client interviews, and he responded, "you are looking at it." Even though that was 1990, I refer to the notes I took in that class as I thought he had a lot of good ideas as they related to investments. I also spent a lot of time in office hours picking his brain on certain things. I would have had no qualms investing with him, had I had any money at the time regardless of what he wore. And while I'm sure his dress now is more conservative, I'm equally sure his clients don't give a rip what he wears. I can't say for sure he can guarantee you 30%, but if you didn't think that I was being at least a little hyperbolic, you are taking yourself way too seriously.

Now, I've given you the example you asked for. How about answering my questions which I've posed to you twice already: would you turn down the opportunity to work with a good investment advisor who good get you a high premium on your return simply because how they dressed? Your refusal to answer this makes you the one dancing around.

You are absolutely right, it doesn't matter what you wear while running a pyramid scheme, since later he will be thrilled with prison garb...
