hiwe will have to differ with regards to core values but I do like to hear or try to understand other investors viewfor me it has very little to do a lender taking a hitfor me this is not the point and a few have already said its the issue of gain you can't sign some thing get the person taht you have sign to take a loss tell them you are not getting a gain and you are.and I will tell you why this is the most important part of investing and I will say this not only as an investor but a person that invests with other investors in a syndicateI and I dont say this as a norm on a board but when I invest with a investors and we make a profit we join in that profit if we make a loss thou we don't wish to make a loss we share that lossI would have a big problem or my co investors would have a big problem and I could get shot froma few if they made a loss and I made a gain or the took a bigger loss them me because I did a slight of hand as you describeand were is the similarities herethe funder is you partnerthey are as much your partner as my co investors are my partnermy investor put up money or equitythe bank or funder put up your vendors money in the form of a mortgage to me its the sameI do not say well my investors can take a bit and I will do a dodgy deal over here and make a bit on the sidewhy because I would very quickly loose my investorsthat business.a funder is that he is funding you me and other investors they are not some get them while you can.your coach or mentor would in my view do better to explain this to youif you are going to use a mentor for me ethics in business is the number one rule and do unto others as you want them to do unto you this is rule number 1and for me if I invest with some one and they said to me or did unto me as you have suggested there time in my syndicates would be a very short lived and they would not be asked back but again thats me.mentors or coachs are for training and so are boardsand I think you should heed a few people views on the post you have postedas is it legal don't knowis it ethical for me nobut for me the answer you have given to me so far tells me that we have a very different opinion and as such If I have a different opinion I just say we have to differ on that point and move on
