Format originally conceived
to conform

for strategic, economic planning
and financial ethics courses,
for CPAs, attorneys and investors.
If anything can be refined,
don't be surprized
if some posts read differently
later.
Efficacy
through understanding
could be exponential,
as long as most don't know
what they could.
Writing style
is kind of like poetry
only different,
with as little punctuation
possible.
It's not supposed to be easy.

are those of the author
as of the date of the post
and are subject to change

author opinions
or anyone elses.

can, can’t or won’t change,
you may not be
who you think you’ll be.
Some of what was
may not have happened
the way you think.
The only two certainties,
are that you

exists.
Without written exemptions,
sometimes multiple restrictions
may not apply,
unless they do.
Most information
is hypothetical.
What you don’t know
you don’t know
is more than you think.
If what others
think was, is and may
might not be what you do,
weigh author and self bias.
Author is not liable
if observation
alters the observed.
Think for yourself
and act accordingly.
The actual existence
of some information
can neither be confirmed
nor denied.
Author is not responsible
if some hypothetical questions
may not be,
under alternative interpretations.
