I, like most Americans, am part of the Main Street kind of people. I don't travel in or understand much of the stratosphere of global investment. I lead a simple life and do my best to get by - and try to keep my head above water - riding the waves created by people like you. As a bystander with a passion for income investing it has been extremely difficult and terrifically painful for me to watch the slow-motion train-wreck of the last few years. Mostly because I have wondered how on earth something like could have been allowed to happen - especially when, in hind-sight, it all seems so obvious and the outcome predetermined. I had the good fortune to hear you as a guest on Bob Brinker's MoneyTalk radio program yesterday. I appreciated the honesty and forthrightness with which you presented yourself. I also appreciate your simple insider's explanation of the events that lead to this catastrophe - a failing from which, in my opinion, we will never recover. I have ordered your book from amazon.com and will read it with relish when it arrives later this week. Thank you again for speaking out. I can only imagine the courage it took to stand up to the status quo money/power system and speak the truth. Thank you very much. Keep telling the truth. There are lots of people out here who want to hear it. Good luck. Gary Thank you, Mr McDonald, for your courage and your insight. I, like most Americans, am part of the Main Street kind of people.
