Andrew found the goose that lays golden eggs

Good for Andy. He’s a decent guy

Unfortunately most of those eggs will turn out rotten or cracked in 8 months.

Part owner of a NJ solar panel installer business.  Trinity Solar is the largest privately-held residential solar installation company in the nation. It provides customers solar energy services from site evaluation. The company was founded in 1994 and is based in Connecticut.  Guy on the RIGHT.

Dale Welk is complaining that the average was down from last year to ONLY $99,000! If 10% of the horses sold today earn that back next year that would be an accomplishment.  These sales companies block out the fact that 90% of what they sell will be LOSSES, and they should be grateful that there are people interested enough to invest money they probably will never get back! It is just like a stock company that made $1 billion the year before, but ONLY $990 million the following year.  It is all profit any way, and these horses are WAY overpriced as they are shilled to the buyers. They NEVER interview these nuts that shell out millions for babies and ask them 1 year later how they did.
