Only $250K a month across the entire forum? My cat MSes more than that a month. :rolleyes:

Damn, lucky you. My dog can only do $10,000 per month. Once I asked him to load BB at the kiosk using OVs, but he got mad by all the declined loading and actually peed on it.

No. $250,000 per person. Most of us actually work at grocery stores, Walmarts, etc. to ensure that CC transactions always goes through. Ya, we get paid crappy at those jobs, but the massive MS volume makes up for that.

Amateurs. A real MSer OWNS grocery stores and WalMarts to make sure the transactions go through.

Ummm...if you own a grocery store or a WM, why on Earth would you be MSing? At that point, you would be so wealthy that MSing would just be a waste of time. Also, income earned from owning a grocery store or WM is taxable at some level, MSing is not ;)

That kind of inside-the-box thinking is exactly why you're not in the super-duper-top-secret forums that explain how to make it work. :cool:

Don't sweat it everyone. I've assembled a stealth slate of opposition candidates for the AXP board. Once we've got our directors in place, Chenault's out, I'm in. 15% payouts on portals and $100k/month on AFT, so easy peasy. Buffett's no pushover in a proxy battle, but I think we've got the votes. Besides, I hear he's an MSer, so feel free to tender your resignation at your day job. It's in the bag.
