I am sure that the authorities in Bahamas and Cayman Islands would like to suggest to the U.S. authorities that this financial services marketing organization (i.e., collection of independent self-promoters) called The Sovereign Society itself be investigated for failure to fully disclose its networked sales and marketing practices.

As I say, those in glass houses ought not to be throwing rocks.

You might be wondering why I would want to challenge this group?

Well, you all know that I believe that there are extreme conflict of interest issues with the sell-side (i.e., the registered banks and brokers and mutual fund organizations that sell financial services), which I would like to see resolved.

But there is another side of the sell-side, which is the unregistered side, the hard-sell side, the side that fails to meet any regulator's standard of "full, true and plain disclosure". These are the people who, like gypsies, travel the globe as so-called experts, to put on financial and investment services conferences, but who are not themselves registered. They are promoters.

What I do is to provide personal observations, insights, and commentary " independent, objective commentary that is 100 pct free of vested interest. Whether or not it's apparent, however, those people are involved in financial transactions that they are promoting, which is fine. But, they ought to be registered.
