This is a common error in human misjudgement that just because you had one relevant idea in the past it automatically follows future ideas should be so relevant. But, they're not, and 10% of the people are not going to pay for no ads.

James - off topic, but you write well. You seem like a high quality dude. I wish I had the money to work something out with you like other posters. Just want to offer one piece of advice: watch out for Winklevoss-type douche bags. They'

My first impression is upon visiting the link provided, there's some text hovering over a notebook, and it just doesn't look professional. I don't know if it's because the text is not centered with the notebook or the fo

Can someone please help me understand what I'm missing? When I calculate the Net/Profit Loss on the first income statement I get ($521) and not ($548). I don't see anything in the article that accounts for the missing $27K. What kind of acc
