You haven't been on my radar in the past as assailing others with fiction, but you are now.
You are omitting what I said "both sets of people still have to pay for hotel stays, thus represent cash flow NOW! " Oh yeah..... forgot about that line huh? Never did I say the LTP doens't have to continue to accrue stays. But, in your world of selective reading apparently it is convenient to aid your fiction.
I NEVER said the LTP gives you money in the past and NEVER stays again. Check the transcript. I said they gave you revenue in the past, which yields capital that you can invest,
but both sets of people still have to pay for hotel stays.
They are equal moving forward, but one gave you cash previously and will in the future. The other gave you jack in the past and will now give you cash. My writing (unedited mind you) stands, not your poor comprehension response to it.
Which is more valuable? Thanks for playing.
BTW I don't need to band together with 4-5 others to feel good. My point stands and if I stand away from you, then it is away from ignorance.
