Fwiw, Jacob Wright's demonstrated spectrum of interests certainly begs the question of ... what *do* the TTI and stock option trading have in common with one another? :nods:
Hmmm, good question…IDK
Actually, his top two specialties would appear to be the troubled teen industry and stock option trading. He even has his own websites, one for each, devoted to pretty much the same nonsense.
Yes, of his 156 articles those topics do appear to be his current primary focus, his profile Specifically cites his interests as:
“Jacob is an internet enthusiast. He lives in Colorado with his wife and two daughters. He is passionate about sustainable living, helping troubled youth, personal finance, and the outdoors.”
His other articles include various topics related to acid reflux, boat propellers, Lasik eye surgery, etc. Also he advises (in the repetitive and vague manner Ursus aptly described) readers on “survivalism” and what to carry on hikes (something he calls a bug out bag).
It would appear that his material serves primarily to warm up the pool of potential marks to be open to later suggestion. Perhaps by someone else. Whether Wright is personally invested in that or, perhaps, a $50 per article commission (or whatever the going rate is these days) paid by some third party interested in mass propagandizing is unclear. Of course this is pure speculation on my part and, of course, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Just sayin'! 
I’ll bet whatever the submission commission or flat take is just a pittance compared to the earning potential to be had from direct referrals.
He appears to have quickly evolved from his earliest ezine entries about recovering from bankruptcy and how to make money online to basically contorting the same broad “troubled youth” assessments and accompanying vacuous claims into different articles designed to present programs as the solution for adolescence and coexisting uh, conditions. He seems unconcerned with details like elaborating on what “out of control” entails or offering much if anything contextually substantive.
He
does appear to have a particular interest in promoting wilderness therapy with his circuitous advice. Which is just so off --for more than the mind-blowingly ignorant assertion that it is a good opportunity for detoxification.
This quote (from one of his several articles on survival what to carry in a ready kit ) connotes that he may already have a Most Dangerous Game perspective on outdoorsmanship
“Carrying 10 knives and a 1000 rounds of ammo might sound cool but when you're trying to move it will make you an easy target”
Either that, or watching Deliverance left an indelible impression on him.
He is a study in contradictions alright.
In one article he avers (without any explanation) that no communication between the parent and child for the duration of the stay will somehow ultimately improve communication once the child has returned. Yet, another surprisingly sensitive article of his is dedicated to “How to Write Great Letters to Troubled Teens in Treatment Programs”
“Parents should monitor through their letters the activities at the program and if the teenager feels it is doing any good. Parents should make it clear that the teen need not stick with the program if it is not doing any good. They should make it clear that they are there for the teen and are willing to listen to any problems the teen has with the program and if the teen wants to leave the program with good reason, they are willing to have him or her back. ”
But I’m sure by that point the money to be made has been had and sadly so have the parents–at serious cost to their kidsStill, while she is far less prolific than others The fatuity of Mary Murtha’s hilarious title for her “Ten fabulous reasons why troubled youth need military school” wins the :ftard: :trophy:
