Well that’s what I thought, Bearvine. Now here I am, going all moralistic and preachy, but when I signed that paper, I did knowing that my signature was my pledge, and I do value my pledge. I did not consider what others were doing, or that I could just sign and figure no one would check, or that I could squirm out of it somehow, or justify it because “everyone else is doing it, even the sales reps”.
Folks, could that be why we’re in this mess? From flipping houses to playing the stock market, we are exhibiting greed across the spectrum. Can I now point out that many posters lambaste the flippers but fail to see what they gloat about in their trading deals is analogous. Or maybe it’s not greed, it’s just survival and we should all “eat or be eaten”.
