    What guys on here can I trust

    I'm thinking of starting a business. Looking for some small time investors, venture capitalist type. Also looking for some guys that will be on my board of advisors.

    Anyone have any experience in this? I have a business plan and believe I have the clientel already lined up. Been working nearly 10 years on this boys and getting my ducks in a row. Lots of late night dinners, golfing at the nicest courses and smoking cubans with doctors, most of it on my dime.

    So far my list is jjgold, opie1988, bigday, john walker and rogue scholar. I need about 8 more.

    What about sweep? guy seems honest enough

    Krack-

    Like we discussed over dinner, this is going to be big, pal. I'm talking global.

    I've always loved the smell of fresh HMO's in the morning.

    You're going about it all wrong, hire a bunch of guys fresh out of the best business schools in the country (these will be your brains), since they are in debt and can't get a job for shit, take advantage of them, 30K salarys terrible benefits - make that half your staff. Hire some old secretarys that have been in the business for 20 years (these will do all the work). Then, at those same business schools, offer "experience" in the form of internships (this will be slave labor).

    Do that, and you are well on your way.

    Thanks Opie and JJ. I knew if you were onboard this could be big. And that poor waitress never stood a chance once you smiled, OPie.

    Frizzer I could use you in the future. Because of obamacare, I've been given an opportunity to make some cash. If we get this up and runnin here in the states, hopefully down the road we can move north and implement some version of it up there. If thats the case, I will certainly be needing bodies. CanuckG is too young. You and Mathdotcom would be top picks of mine.

    Who else guys? I've got the pacifici northwest covered and as far south as San Jose. With Opie and I in south central USA and JJ in the Northeast, my biggest void is the southeast.

    Opie we may have to take a trip to Florida soon. Killer market down there for this product. Once we shore up other places, we could make a killing down there. Opie, pick your favorite island in the florida keyes and we'll meet up with posters there on the beach

    Guys, we've got about 95% of startup covered. Looking for some small time investors now for the last 5%, risk reduction stuff.

    Who can I trust?

    Dear Mr. Kraken:

    I recently reviewed your posting on SBR players talk forums. As the only confirmed $200 millionaire SBR fourm currently has, I am willing to put a significant stake in your proposed investment. For a staggering 2 betpoints, I would be willing to agree to a mere 73% of your profits over the next 38 years. The drastically lower amount of 61% of profits beyond that point would then be initiated.

    Thanks,
    PBI

    Investing money in a business run by a liberal democrat who is soliciting for investors is a sure way to financial ruin.

    Any state lottery (even with its 50% take right off the top) would be a far better bet than investing with a democrat trying to get a business off the ground.

    How smart can Kraken possibly be with his head so far up Obama's rear end?

    2d, it's very legal. In fact, to a much smaller degree I had planned on going through with it regardless of the SCOTUS decision. But obamacare gives me much greater flexibility. I was turned on to the idea a long time ago after a surgeon approached me and asked me to research some stuff for him. He was in the process of starting a hospital. So through the research, I found a niche that I knew one day would turn into something. I just needed "clientel", in this case doctors. So I nurtured these relationships over the last 8-10 years and now know 52 doctors that are on board. More than enough to start the business and grow it.

    Unfortunately, our legislators recently passed a bill stating it's no longer legal for physicians to own hospitals in our state. Too much conflict of interest. Reality is the larger corportations that own hospitals around the state lobbied the lawmakers because these small special interest hospitals hit their bottome line hard. Around here there are a few local heart hospitals and spine hospitals, as well as ortho hospitals that are all physican owned. Well it just happens to be the largest profits come from heart, spine and ortho patients.

    Anyway, small hiccup. But yes, it's very legal.

    Andy, see this is why you're such a square. You'd vote for Romney even to your own demise.

    Andywend, me supporting Obama and obamacare has everything to do with the possibility of making a lot of money, almost risk free. I always knew if I could get 50 docs on board, I'd at minimum, make a livable wage. I've got 52. And nowhere to go but up.

    So ya, I support the guy that's fixing to make me a lot of money. Opie is a staunch republican, but even he respects the fact that money can be made with Obama as president.

    Andy, pull your head out of your ass.
