They don't realize that a lot of what they see is all smoke and mirrors.  

Originally posted by Patrick K:I agree as well, however I HATE my email client for my website and love using gmail, but I would never send an email from anything but my company account.If I could find a email client that is close to gmail or somehow mirror my company email account through gmail I would be a happy man.Gmail definetly has the ability to send/receive POP3 email from other domains.

My greatest pain point is not that the deals failed, although that certainly adds salt to the wounds, it's the poor communication, false narratives, chasing (almost begging) for updates, lack of full disclosure, the smoke and mirrors, etc.

While it's not completely unusual for deals to die at the table, if enough happen in a row you generally need to look in the mirror - what is your role in blowing up the deal?

The people who bought mirror the all time high then watched it fall to 34K.

So when that TARP 2.0 comes, it will be directed to the big banking entity/ J.P. to "save the commercial financing world", to "create liquidity" which is a giant smoke and mirror trick because that TARP 2.0 is just added profits, the asset's are coming back liquid already, it's the LP's and regional bank and the regional bank investors who get burned, bad. 

It's been a lifesaver for removing things like reflections in mirrors or clutter that was missed during a showing.

I don't have a problem with you, but let's stop with the smoke and mirrors.

It sounds like she is going to get in trouble, but are you looking in the mirror at all about this?
