Next Time, I Will Think Twice or More!

I've been getting some email and a private message or two about the mystery author on the premium newsletter and I have to admit, it has made me a little uncomfortable lately because it is not transparent.
I believe in transparency and contrary to that I agreed to keep this persons identity confidential if they would write the series of articles we discussed over lunch a few weeks ago. Then I got them to agree to participate in a couple of live interactive chats. One of those was with a private group and the other was a public chat through the MB site. You can read the transcript at http://www.magicbullets.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7074
The article series will go forward because the information presented is that good and stands on its own. It really wouldn't matter if it were Willy on skid row writing them or Donald Trump. If people follow even just a few of his suggestions in the articles they will see results.
In the interest of being as transparent as possible...

1. This person is not receiving any compensation for the articles and did not receive any for the chat sessions.
2. They are not soliciting any kind of participation from any of the readers to invest with them or buy any service from them.
3. They are not a household name and want to keep it that way.
4. They wrote the articles and participated in the chat sessions as a personal favor to me.
5. They have no interest in writing a book or giving lectures or seminars.
6. They are a full-time investor and money manager.
7. I will keep my promise and not disclose their identity.

In retrospect, I shouldn't have agreed to the confidentiality part, but the agreement was made and I will honor it unless they change their mind - not very likely. I also shouldn't have asked him to do the public chat.
We live and learn.
