Will have to revisit conversation with TOMMY as seeing to his request for investment assistance will require a very notable amount of time which will impact HTIRE work and JOEL personal work. Possible options are defining a secondary contract and see to the work properly under a contract payment arrangement (prelim idea would be simply adding a certain amount to my regular weekly payment for existing contract that involves only HTIRE Quickbooks/clerical work.  Second option would be for TOMMY to take the entire conversation to a professional consultant, either an hourly arrangement with a well vetted local consultant or the typical advisory relationship with a firm such as that which Greg C. works for. Those are the only two options considering the amount of time/research that will be required to facilitate the request properly and in a professional manner.
