You stated that you are a dealer, which to your great credit you havent attempted to hide. I’ll take that at face value and good for you.
If you are in fact a dealer though, now that you’ve listed your opinion of "the finest" product, Steinway-Lyngdorf, that you would "personally" go "toe-to-toe" about I now wonder if you might just happen to be a dealer for that particular product? If so, ironically, you should probably disclose that. Not that I would be a candidate either way. I apologize in the event you are not a dealer for Steinway-Lyngdorf, however, I’m not even a little bit sorry if you are a dealer for their products and did not disclose it.
It might come as a surprise to you as well that, if memory serves, Steinway is owned by a VC/PE firm controlled by John Paulson. I also think (I’m not certain) that Lyngdorf is privately held by Peter L. along with investors, which again, could be properly categorized as VC/PE.
And finally, I prefer not to participate with your newsletter, podcast, twitter, instagram, reddit, facebook, etc. Especially if you are a dealer for the product in question and failed to disclose same.
