  4. @macy1066  Napoleon said "Do not ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence." In Ramsey's case, you'll notice he crosses his arms when talking about passive investing so it's probably just a touch of ego and greed.

  6. @alvadagansta  I call it "Sin a Little Economics." Things like 1% a day is obvious fraud but 13% a year is realistic enough to be believed by smart people driven by the same greed as day trading idiots

  7. @macy1066  a touch of greed can make people exaggerate what is a reasonable wage/return. Small sins can produce more drama than big ones, because I guarantee you people like Ramsey buy into and pump bubbles
