Ow, I’m sore! Guess the leg workout was good enough.Steve, sounds like you don’t like Warren Buffett, nor Mohnish Pabrai. But what if they offered you a job? Would you take it? What would YOUR value proposition be? (Or what if Codi Sanchez offered you a job, would you take it? What would your offer be? She has a podcast studio!) Key takeaways:-Keep your job (Buffett was employed in several capacities and didn’t become Berkshire Hathaway’s chairman until 1970… when he was 40.)-Put all your eggs in one basket… AND WATCH THAT BASKET!-Don’t get divorced. Work out another agreement.-And… go to school? (Wharton School of Business, Masters in Economics, and New York Institute of Finance)-This kinda runs counter to the whole “get a job in the trades” theme that pops up from time to time.Apostillation continues… why isn’t this on record?Chinese stonks look like they’re bottoming (in New York).And someone sent me $1000. Did I take it?Donate to the show!
