Mr. Stock Smarty Pants, a shadowy figure who is nonetheless acknowledged as the undisputed guru of the global stock image industry, was a regular website content contributor for Stock Answers™ until November of 2007 when he signed a reported six-figure deal with About The Image, the online stock picture industry magazine (although it was also reported that this deal was done in Jamaican dollars which, at an exchange rate of roughly 70 Jamaican $ to one US $, makes the financial impact a bit less exciting).
Consequently, MSSP is, for at least the time being, no longer posting answers to your questions here at the Stock Answers™ website (which, of course, also has its positive side: we are no longer obligated to pay his inflated salary, nor stroke his inflated ego). Nonetheless, after unprecedented cajoling, along with serious muscle from a team of international attorneys, he has agreed to continue taking your questions via Stock Answers™, but now the answers will be published on the About The Image website.
hat’s right: Mr. Stock Smarty Pants, the ultimate stock industry insider, will (perhaps) answer YOUR question. Although contractual and national security considerations would preclude us from revealing Mr. Stock Smarty Pants’ true identity even if we knew it, take it from us: if he can’t answer your question, nobody can.
So, e-mail us your question (see link below) about ANYTHING related to the stock picture industry and it just might get published, along with Mr. Smarty Pants’ response, at About The Image! Mr. Stock Smarty Pants does, of course, reserve the right to edit and/or hack your question to shreds due to either a lack of space (on About The Image’s part), lack of creativity (on your part), or lack of interest (on Mr. Stock Smarty Pants’ part).
Put on your thinking cap…what have you always wanted to know about the stock biz? Neatness, aptness of thought and legibility will count for a lot, so get hoppin’ and don’t forget to include the following with your question:
§ Your name
§ Your company name and job title
§ Your city, state/province and country
§ Your e-mail address (this will NOT get passed on to anyone else!)
