For companies wanting to go public the basic understanding is to find an S1 attorney that will look out for your best interest and make the process easy. But what you’re not thinking about is the sub-sector of predatory attorneys that just look at you as easy prey. They’ll jump into your company, distract you by confusing you with technical jargon, fast talking and stressful scenarios that could never happen and when you’re not looking they’ll carve out a nice fat piece of equity on top of their excessive fees that pile up as they rob you blind with their insularely fees.

ntellectual midgets and Pee Wee Herman The Congressman; Hell will freeze over before politicians can fix this economy.

Click on the TV and you’ll see them, faces like the Joker with ceramic smiles plastered onto their face. Using the name of Jesus and romantic concepts of fighting in wars and existing at deaths door while he fought for his country is the general MO of any politician. But what happens when we enter into the endless tunnels of the rabbit hole where these Jokers exist? Among the cobwebs, rotting carcasses filth is a den where they all congregate.

Of course our men and women are dying abroad in wars that we don’t need to be in, the politicians don’t understand what it’s like to lose a child because their kid is in the National Guard on Cape Cod whale watching duty. It’s a joke.

If you’re lacking the funds to dive right in and start creating your public structure, here is a way that just about any business can afford to go public.

I was recently on a conference call with a new client and their accountant who insisted on meeting with me because he wanted to pre qualify me. After a few questions when I was setting up the call I could tell right away that this accountant was a pure amateur and was trying to look like the ‘big dog’ to his clients, being one who invites and enjoys confrontation I took on the meeting. I love negotiating and debating on topics in which I’m well versed so I knew this would be fun.

With global economics the way they are it would be redundant to rant and rave about the downsides of corporate fund-raising.
