  1. Not the kind of advice his tax attorney would give him.

  2. Three Frauds, these partners. The odd part is , they ‘ve shown their true colors when they bought Anheuser Busch. A company with a mediocre product , tall order upon seizing it was to trim payroll massively. No word about improving a dog product , in expanding new beers. Just cut costs. This so happened way before they bough J.Heinz. And the worse part was, they claimed to have these tactics learned from their American Peers. Their arrogance was off the charts. This not being a footnote print in the Brazilian Business Press. It was on the page of the Wall Street Journal. Now they are back again, this time around , for defrauding Brazilian investors and lenders. On the tune of billions with one of their subsidiaries. Bernie Ebers couldn’t done better.

  3. Interesting observation. Not vouching for these foggies but… 1. Pipelines need to be built. Lots of sunken cost. Rights of way bought, building costs. Time to collect dividends might take a while.These are monopolies , but dividend money is deferred. Old timeys want to know about distributions. Not upsides. 2. Rail business is fully depreciated and a quasi monopoly. And they are not investing in the rail tracks , where a lot of money is spent in maintenance and payroll. For as long as rates are controllable , the rail cart business is very profitable. Car and train maintenance is a whole let expensive that rail lines.

  4. What you meant to say is , they are not as outstanding citizens , despite their awchucks veneer.

  5. The nuggets are in the comments. Never mind the old foggies. It takes work to separate the wheat from the chaff.

  6. Nuggets are in the comments. It’s like going to a town hall meeting. The idiot / con artist out front might be useless , but the folk sitting around you , might have a few gems. People love to follow saviors, leaders . But there are always the non satisfied attendees. You have to seize the crowd. You never glean anything valuable with keynote speakers. Not make hay in networking. And seek to the elders. They are often ignored. But their wisdom.

  9.  @wholeNwon  I don’t care about Warren Buffet any more than you do. I don’t follow him either. But at least I can crush your nonsense class resentment to pieces. And the fact I’ve been to places and seen the way things are done, because I observe things well. Your counter argument … ‘ Off course you are wrong “. Typical American … Obsessed with public figures Bitter Self absorbed. Broke Glad I left the Country
