bohogirl, kudos to you!
I stand in awe of a good teacher, and I wish more people would. IMO, they are the very ESSENCE and the foundation of our country. Personally, I think starting pay for a good teacher should be $75- 90K.
As to Rufus, I don't know him - whether he is a genius, well, IMO it doesn't show in his writing. Maybe he's a great dealmaker?
But in terms of being able to sell shares to critical investors, he just doesn't cut the mustard. Institutional buyers would requre a bit more than what he's dolling out.
Maybe he treats them better than us. I very much get the feeling that he thinks retail investors are stupid.
