RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:starting to wonder...
Sadly you do not get it. But at least now you admit the secret selling.
That, however, was not the problem.. It was you were telling people who trusted you were not selling, and promoting higher prices, while you were selling.
The herd as you call them were not some abstract thing, but real people who trusted you.
But as you say in your post, why should you get in the line with the herd and sell for less. You needed the herd to keep buying while you were selling to reward you for your years of work.
But perhaps in admitting this at last, you have taken a first step towards a true epiphany.
