It's nice to have a lot of money, but you know, you don't want to keep it around forever. I prefer buying things. Otherwise, it's a little like saving sex for your old age.
It's never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride.

Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.
We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds.

Turnarounds seldom turn.
