If he wants to, in a couple of years. The SEC is going to leave him alone now - maybe. Everyone thought he was banned for life. 'I thought Mr Cohen was only interested in managing in his own money, boss.' Ha! Things change, Voice, reader(s), and none of us can understand the mentality of a man like Stevie.

What the hell is wrong with this world?!

I'm going to keep up my promotional campaign for a few months - using various methods - but I may need a ... PLAN B(!!!). 'What plan, Mikey?' Well ... I'm considering writing "serious" songs*, Dylan-style, for myself as a potential recording artist, and doing gigs to attract interest. However, it's early days yet ...
*Do you remember the tune I told you about that came to me in a dream? It was going to be a small three minute ballad with unchallenging lyrics, but I've already adapted it to a five or six minute epic.
