My career advice ran in 200 newspapers, I got a book deal for $150K. Yahoo Finance paid me $1200 a week for a blog post. You know why? Because I said things no one else would say but it was hard for anyone to argue that what I wrote was not true.

I know my ideas are not at the forefront of a revolution when people appropriate them.
