Actually you are the one confused and I'm trying to help you. If you are a licensed finacial advisor and make a projection of the kind you made on AAPL to a client that would be grounds to lose your license. And if you really understood this stuff you'd know that annualizing when holding period is > a year is a look back , hence realized return.
No. I can’t. Not again.
You’re not still sore that I caught you in that “usually I tip/I never tip” story last week, are you? Or that I called you on the “anyone who gets arrested for soliciting a prostitute will lose their job” one a few weeks ago? Or maybe it was the “the only people who engage in high risk behavior are people of low intelligence” one from a while back. No, I know. It was the time you said a government sanctioned brothel in a country with legal prostitution was probably just an LE sting. Whichever it was, I can’t go there again. Now it’s they’ll pull my license if I make projections of future returns. You didn’t say it’s a foolish thing to do. Or even bad practice. No. You say it’s illegal. So here’s my thoughts: Maybe you’re right. After all, its over 30 years since I passed the exam. Maybe in all that practice and all that continuing ed they came out with a rule I missed. Please enlighten me. Show me the SEC rule that that breaks, and I’ll be first on line to apologize and say you’re right. Go to your compliance office and find the section that violates. But you won’t. Not because you’re lazy or disinclined to do so. Because you can’t.
You see, genius and I may not always agree on things, and no one’s shy about saying so, but we can at least have an intelligent argument, because we come from the old school where facts are facts for all of us. Where truths are universal, no matter how you feel about them, or what mood you’re in, or what day of the week it is. But you come from the KellyAnne Conway School of Public Speaking, where shit is just made up and thrown out there and fuck y’all if it ain’t true I’m gonna say it anyway. And that can’t be argued, or debated, or convinced otherwise. Because to you, facts and truths are just a pesky annoyance, easily ignorable if it suits your point of view.
So here’s what I’m gonna do, cause this is an easy one for you. Show me the SEC rule, and you win. Don’t show it (which of course you can’t), and I promise to never talk to you about anything other than a) will she stick her tongue up my ass, b) is her pussy shaved, or c) do I get 2 pops. Because it’s tiring enough trying to keep up with KellyAnne, without coming on here asking for more.
